This resulted in only a small reduction in oil have any effect this year or next. stocks through the winter of 1998/1999, at a time when stocks are normally reduced considerably. This took place in spite of the decision by OPEC and various other count- ries to reduce production by about 2.5 million barrels a day in 1998.

Oil prices began to drift up in February this year after OPEC announced new production cuts. In March, the cartel decided to reduce production by 1.7 million barrels a day. In addition, Norway, Mexico, Russia and Oman decided that they would reduce production by altogether 0.4 million barrels a day. The war in Kosovo may also have been a factor behind the increase in oil prices the last few months.

According to forecasts from the IEA (International Energy Agency), oil stocks will be reduced in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Demand is expected to increase on the assumptions that the OECD area experiences a normal- ly cold winter and that the economic problems in Asia do not worsen. If OPEC continues to fulfil between 80 and 90 per cent of the reductions in production that it has agreed upon, and Iraq maintains its current oil exports within the limits stipulated in the agreement with the UN, stocks may be reduced by on average 1.4 million barrels a day through the last half of 1999. This will reduce oil stocks by about

250 million barrels. Petroleum Intelligence We* ekly indi- cates that stocks must be reduced by a little more than 300 million barrels before oil prices rise further. Based on such assumptions, the forecasts indicate that oil prices will re- main at the current level the remainder of the year, with prices edging up later in the first quarter of 2000.

Commoiy ices Other commodity prices also fell dramatically through 1998, albeit not as much as oil prices. The fall in prices can be linked to both an abundant supply in the world mar- ket and to low demand in the wake of the Asian crisis. The HWWA (Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung-Hamburg) ex- pects prices to level off during 1999, showing an average annual decline of 7 per cent compared with 1998, against a drop of 13 per cent from 1997 to 1998. Prices are expected to edge up in 2000, returning to the level prevailing at the end of 1998. The HWWA assumes, however, GDP growth of 2.2 per cent in the OECD area in 1999, compared with Consensus Forecasts' projection of 1.3 per cent. The possi- bility that the fall in prices this year may be greater than

At the end of 1998 the average lending rate in private financial institutions was a good 9.5 per cent, 3.5 percentage points higher than the level at end- 1997. So far this year Norges Bank has lowered its key rates by a total of 1.5 percentage points. Money market rates have fallen by about the same margin, and approxi- mately interest rates in private financial institutions are now 1 percentage points below the level at the beginning of the year.

In spite of Norges Bank's interest rate reductions, Nor- wegian money market rates are still nearly 4 percentage points higher than the level of corresponding euro rates. The interest rate differential between Norway and other oa aiioa goos countries is thus as high as in the period following the up- Souce: Saisics oway ward adjustment of Norwegian rates through the second and third quarters of last year.

It is likely that the rise in oil prices during the last few months is an important reason for the swift and fairly substantial appreciation of the krone.

As in earlier quarterly reports, we assume that Norges Bank will in the period ahead reduce the interest rate diffe- rential against the euro in order to counter a further appre- ciation of the krone as the current account position gradual- ly improves. However, because the central bank has re- peatedly emphasized the flexibility of the Exchange Rate Regulation during the last five months, we have revised our views concerning how quickly interest rates will be reduced. The interpretation of the following sentence in Cosum. i ouse. a ooi og. Geea goeme cosumio the Regulation is considered particularly important: "In the Souce: Saisics oway event of significant changes in the exchange rate, moneta- ry policy instruments will be oriented with a view to retur- ning the exchange rate over time to its initial range". First, Norges Bank has stressed that the initial range should be considered a broadly defined central rate around which the Goss ie caia omaio krone exchange rate can fluctuate. Second, the central eceage growth bank has indicated that changes in the exchange rate are 20 only to be perceived as significant if they influence expec- tations concerning price and cost inflation in such a way that exchange rate changes become self-reinforcing. Third, the Bank has stated that in the event of significant ex- 0 change rate changes, the following factors will be emphasi- zed: 1) that price and cost inflation should not exceed the level aimed at by euro countries, and 2) that monetary poli- 0 cy in itself shall not contribute to deflationary recessions.

Both the increase in interest rates and the appreciation of the exchange rate have a contractionary effect on the Nor- 0 2 4 6 8 2000 wegian economy. Against this background, we consider it likely that Norges Bank will counter a further appreciation oa Maiaoway of the krone by lowering interest rates. It is still uncertain, Souce: Saisics oway however, how Norges Bank will operationalize its defini- tion of "significant exchange rate changes", and this uncer-

Goss omesic ouc eceage gow It is also uncertain how exchange market participants will respond to the Bank's description of its future pattern of 6 behaviour and how they evaluate the outlook for Norway's external account. In the light of this and Norges Bank's emphasis on achieving price and cost inflation that does not exceed the level aimed at by euro countries, we have in this report assumed that Norwegian interest rates will de- cline more slowly this year than envisaged in Economic Survey 1199. It is also assumed that it may take longer than expected earlier before the interest rate differential be- tween Norway and the euro area is again on a par with the inflation differential.
