OSLO, Aug 9 (Reuters) -Norway's annual core inflation rate eased in line with expectations in July, Statistics Norway (SSB) data showed on Friday, supporting the central bank's view that interest rates may start to decline in the early part of next year.
Core inflation, which strips out changing energy prices and taxes, stood at 3.3% year on year, down from 3.4% in June, as expected on average by analysts in a Reuters poll.
The price of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 4.9% year-on-year, making it a significant contribution to inflation, SSB said in a statement.
Norway's currency, the crown, strengthened to 11.82 against the euro EURNOK= by 0603 GMT, from 11.83 ahead of the data release.
Norges Bank, which targets core inflation of 2.0%,in June kept interest rates on hold at a 16-year high and pushed back its prediction for a rate cut to 2025 from September in a blow to global monetary easing hopes.
The central bank will make an interest announcement on Aug. 15 but will not release new economic projections until September. Its own projection for July core inflation stood at 3.7%.
Headline inflation, which includes changes in energy costs and taxes, rose in July to 2.8% from 2.6% in June, as expected by analysts in the Reuters poll.
