OSLO, March 23 (Reuters) - Norway's central bank raised
its key policy rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 3.0% on
Thursday, as expected by almost all economists surveyed by
Reuters, and said it aimed for another hike in May and raise it
further to hit 3.5% in summer.
Of the 26 economists polled in advance, 25 had anticipated
an increase of 25 bps on Thursday while one had bet on an
increase of 50 bps.
