Decades ago, consumers who wanted to buy a home had to meet with their local banker, prove they had the income and assets required to purchase property and make a substantial down payment before obtaining approval for a home loan. Today's homebuyers may have the option of making a lower down payment, but they face a more complex mortgage-approval process. The No. 1 factor influencing mortgage qualification these days is the consumer credit score, also known as a FICO score, invented by the Fair Isaac Corp.

The quarter-point increase was widely expected and won't by itself hold back growth much. But Europe's increasingly two-speed recovery will be a challenge for the bank as it decides how high rates should go in coming months.

Money market rate premiums have been high and volatile. The difference between money market rates and central bank key rates has been the widest since the international financial turbulence started in August last year. Norwegian money market rates increased sharply after international risk premiums spilled over into the Norwegian market. Foreign exchange markets have also been volatile. Investors have shown interest in the large and most liquid currencies. Growth is also slowing in the Norwegian economy. Household consumption has stagnated and house prices are falling.
