(Bloomberg) -- Norway’s central bank said it had resolved technical problems reported earlier on Friday affecting its liquidity operations.
It remains unclear whether the issues were linked to the global computer outage affecting airlines, banks and other industries.
Norges Bank planned to conduct a banking system liquidity auction via email and over the phone later today due to problems with its online system. The problems affecting the so-called F-deposit auction — part of the market operations conducted by the bank — are resolved and the bank expects to conduct the auction as normal, spokesman Bard Ove Molberg said by e-mail.
The issues were traced to the bank’s supplier Intility AS, Molberg said. Representatives of Intility didn’t immediately respond to Bloomberg requests for comment.
The bank continues work with other “non-critical systems” that have been affected, Molberg said, adding that Norges Bank’s settlement system hasn’t been impacted.
