挪威的潜在通胀率上月按预期放缓，可能削弱该国央行下月再次加息的可能性。
Norway’s underlying inflation eased last month as estimated, likely denting the chances of another interest-rate hike next month by the nation’s central bank.
据统计局周二公布的数据，不包括能源在内的潜在消费者价格年增长率在10月放缓至2.7%。这一结果与彭博社对经济学家调查的中位预测以及挪威银行9月做出的预测相符。
Underlying consumer-price growth excluding energy slowed to an annual 2.7% in October, according to data from the statistics office on Tuesday. The outcome matched the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists as well as Norges Bank’s projection made in September.
食品和进口商品价格温和增长，有助于缓解核心价格增长。此前几个月，核心价格增长在夏季出现意外放缓后有所回升。
Moderate price growth for food and imported goods helped ease core price growth that had crept up in past months after an unexpected deceleration in the summer.
这一放缓可能降低决策者将通胀率重新降至2%目标的紧迫性。他们预计到2029年实现这一目标，同时也力求不扼杀经济。
The slowdown may reduce the urgency for policymakers of bringing inflation back to their 2% target. It’s something they expect to do by 2029 while also trying not to stifle the economy.
由于劳动力成本增长仍居高位，中东战争仍在支撑能源价格，利率制定者“对持续高企的价格压力迹象保持特别警惕”，行长伊达·沃尔登·巴赫上周表示。她维持了维持借贷成本较高一段时间的前景，甚至暗示如有必要将加息。
With labor cost growth remaining high and the Middle East war still propping up energy prices, the rate-setters are “particularly vigilant to signs of continued elevated price pressures,” Governor Ida Wolden Bache said last week. She held on to the outlook of keeping borrowing costs higher for a time, even signaling a hike if needed.
统计局表示，受电费上涨影响，头条通胀率上月仍加速至3.6%。这一结果略低于分析师预估的3.7%，而央行此前预计将上涨3.8%。
The headline inflation rate still accelerated to 3.6% last month, due mainly to electricity costs, the office said. The outcome was just below the analysts’ estimate of 3.7%, while the central bank had projected a 3.8% gain.
在邻国丹麦，丹麦统计局周二表示，10月头条通胀率为2.2%，与上月持平，燃料价格是推动年度价格增长的关键因素。
In neighboring Denmark, the headline inflation rate was 2.2% in October, unchanged from the previous month, with fuel prices a key driver of annual price growth, Statistics Denmark said Tuesday.
