Norway's August core inflation eases to 3.2% as expected
Adds detail on currency, background in paragraphs 3-6
COPENHAGEN, Sept 10 (Reuters) -Norway's annual core inflation rate eased in line with market forecasts in August, Statistics Norway (SSB) data showed on Tuesday, supporting expectations that interest rates may begin to decline later this year or early in 2025.
Core inflation, which strips out changing energy prices and taxes, stood at 3.2% year on year, down from 3.3% in July, as expected on average by analysts in a Reuters poll.
Norway's currency, the crown, strengthened to 11.96 against the euro EURNOK= by 0606 GMT, from 11.98 ahead of the data release.
Norges Bank in August kept interest rates on hold at a 16-year high of 4.50% and said a tight stance would likely be needed for "some time" to combat inflation.
The bank, which targets core inflation of 2.0%, in June pushed back its prediction for a rate cut to 2025 from September in a blow to global monetary easing hopes.
Norges Bank is scheduled to make its next announcement and present revised long-term rate predictions on Sept. 19.
