TodaySpareBank 1 Østlandet has decided to adjust lending and deposit rates by up to 0.25 percentage points. The adjustment is due to increased money market rates andNorges Bank's raising of the key interest rate just before Christmas. "The interest rate level inNorway remains low, andNorges Bank has signalled several interest rate adjustments in the upcoming year. Although infection rates and electricity prices are increasing uncertainty at the moment, an increase of interest rates to a more normalised level is a sign of health for the economy. However, transitions can be difficult. We therefore ask customers who experience financial difficulties to contact the bank," says Kari Elise Gisnås, Executive Vice President for the retail market. o For new housing mortgages, the interest rate will be adjusted from 5 January. o For existing housing mortgages and deposits the interest rate will be adjusted from 18 February. o Customers will be notified directly of the interest rate adjustment in their selected channel.
