OSLO, April 23 (Reuters) - Norway could see its biggest
decline in mortgage demand this quarter since the financial
crisis more than a decade ago, a central bank survey of the
banking industry showed on Thursday.
    The decline in demand for mortgages was primarily explained
by the effects of efforts to control the novel coronavirus
outbreak, it added.
