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. Beyond its traditional central banking role, it oversees the management of the Government Pension Fund Global (often called the Norwegian Oil Fund), one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, valued at over $1 trillion, which invests Norway’s oil and gas revenues in global equities, bonds, and real estate. 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.
