Norges Bank Portfolio holdings
Norges Bank, established in 1816 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, serves as the central bank of Norway, responsible for monetary policy, issuing the Norwegian krone, and maintaining financial stability.

The fund’s investment arm, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), operates independently to ensure long-term wealth preservation for future generations, emphasizing sustainable and ethical investing practices. With its dual role, Norges Bank uniquely blends central banking duties with stewardship of a massive global investment portfolio.
