Norges Bank has decided to continue to allow primary dealers to set wider
spreads between the bid and offer prices in the interdealer market for Norwegian
government bonds with residual maturity of one year or more.

Continued permitted interest rate spreads for all government bonds with residual
maturity of one year or more:

Up to 1.6 times the interest rate spreads permitted by Clause 3, third paragraph
of Annex A to the Primary Dealer Agreement for Norwegian government bonds, ie
eight effective interest rate basis points.

Period: From 9:00 am on Thursday, 2 January 2025 through Monday, 31 March 2025.


The primary dealers must set bid and offer prices in the interdealer market
pursuant to Clause 3, third paragraph of Annex A to the Primary Dealer
Agreements for Norwegian Treasury bills and Norwegian government bonds with
residual maturity of up to one year. This means that the permitted interest rate
spread for all Treasury bills and government bonds with residual maturity of up
to one year is 10 effective interest rate basis points.
