OSLO, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Norway may further tighten its
regulation of banks offering high-interest loans to consumers,
Finance Minister Siv Jensen told reporters on Tuesday following
a meeting with bank executives and industry lobbyists.
    The country has seen a surge in non-mortgage lending and
credit card debt in recent years, and the government is "closely
monitoring" developments, the minister said.
