It`s also a financial one, a wealthy, healthy and happy population that spends more money is also bringing in lots of tax money, which can be used to fund infrastructure et cetera, further facilitating tourism for instance, or a more effective and reliable public transportation system, again increasing efficiency and attractiveness, which again, brings in more money. Norway is a capitalistic country after all, it`s just that our model of socialism is so different from most of the world that people might forget that fact.

Sure it affects us in a lot of ways. Gass prices went from 15-16 NOK to 23-26 NOK for petrol for example. Many have decided to go over to electric cars as a result or can't afford to drive much at all. Prices for building materials, plumbing parts, electric components, etc. Have skyrocketed. Ensuring that nobody wants to build anything at the moment. Food prices have increased drastically for most anything you find in daily stores. Packaging is also smaller. Then there are the problems for farmers and small businesses, everything costs them more. So much so that some just give up. Especially the crisis with electricity. So many thousand tons of vegetables were thrown away because storing them costs more than it is worth. The high price on electricity has hit the average Norwegian and the more poor ones the most. Now they have it hard to keep things together at all. Over to the topic at hand. I do not worry about how the wealth fund is being managed. Most here prefer a small loss of revenue to improve human rights if that is a choice. You might say it is a case of: "Id rather have a straight back and be poor than bowing and scraping as a rich man." CEO's have to accept that when someone buys into their company, they might wanna make changes. Not everyone out there care more about making money than the welfare of the workers under them. As for the large earnings we have now, I hear a lot might end up in Ukraine to help rebuild. Probably not in straight-up funds, but probably in essentials the country will need to get back on its feet. Materials etc. Some money will probably be sent but with Ukraine's history of corruption, it is more likely to be in things the people of Ukraine actually need. For example: Already poor people in Ukraine before the war, will not be awarded with a million dollars because we earned money on their war. Rather they will get what they need to rebuild, and probably then some. However, treating the poverty issue in Ukraine is not our job. Norway is a country that clings to moral ethics, that is our weak spot you might say. All the other countries in the world earning money on wars here or there, or crises elsewhere in the world, do not pay reparations to another country for it. But Norway just might. However, public opinion in Norway might turn around if we feel too many outsiders pressure us and accuse us of this and that. Most in Norway already were in favor of sharing some of the earnings with Ukraine to begin with. However, that is a case of charity, not something owed. It is important people understand that. Norway is under no obligation to do anything, as it is a sovereign nation, and the oil, gas and energy it exports belong to Norway alone. Same as the UK or the USA is under no obligation to pay anything to the wealth they have earned from their history of colonization. Bring that debate up with previous colony states, and you will have a chat war. Norway however owns what it exports, it was found and produced here. So if we by chance earn more money on gass and oil over a war that we have nothing to do with, and even send tons of relief aid to in the first place, that is our problem to deal with. If public opinion is(with the way it is now) to share the wealth with a destitute Ukraine, then that is what we will do. However people making demands on what we do with our own money, that is not something we look kindly on here in Norway.

@@XGD5layer Not really true. We've connected our electrical network to Europe via the ACER agency of EU which specifies how the trade works. By following the rules, the Norwegian electrical companies import and export to a much larger marked which effectively raise electrical prices to European prices, even though the Norwegian states have a large enough supply of electricity that it could have far lower prices if it didn't adapt to an external market. That the Norwegian state is not using it's strong bargaining position to demand our own internal pricing (like France is doing with it's own internal supply of nuclear power) is the problem here. People in Norway can't figure out why we're just blindly following EU rules.

That the ACER deal would lead to larger internal prices was foreseen by many prior to the deal, but the proponents rejected that and still reject that for vague reasons the population don't buy. There seem to be vested interests in the state and electrical companies to do this for larger profits. They are making money at the expense of a population and infrastructure which has adapted to cheap energy prices for the last half a century. We use electricity for heat directly and are dependent on it. Just straight up withdrawing from ACER might even be better, and if our strong bargaining position doesn't work out, we should be willing to do that.

norway is the frugal friend that allways has money, because they save and are smart with what they spend on. they dont live a huge life style and dont splurge on fancy stuff. central europe has been the friend that spends their money as it comes in, they are not broke but their bank account is allways running on empty come pay day. they have nice stuff, new cars, clothes, a nice watch. do give some money out but are quick to get money loaned back at any cost. now the economy has changed and things aren't going well. the friend that saved and live frugally live comfortably, the investments made pay out like allways and there is no fear that its not going to be enough to go around. even some good income from good planning and fortought. the other friend that lived month to month and lived a life of spending feels the pressure mounting and looks to his friend in envy. why cant he share more of his wealth, he even is making money while you suffer. this is unfair. he should give of himself freely now that you need.

Unfortunately, it is not as bright as it might seem. As a Norwegian citizen, I regret to inform you that the mass inflation, gas and electricity problems are just as bad here if not worse than in most other european countries due to the extreme costs of living not going down. Poor people in Norway have been directly backhanded in their heads and our own government isn't listening to the people's protests. Why are our electricity bills so astromonically high, even though we're one of the wealthiest nations in the world? Well, while our country might 1000% be able to support it's citizens with the amount of money we've made, we choose to spend it on supporting foreign countries while our own people are now, more than ever starving on the streets! Norway as a role model, might be better than America, but our government for sure isn't the hero we need.

I feel Norway is being glorified. Although our country is rich in resources, there are very few rich people in Norway. The majority belong to the working class, even if the amount of the average income is slightly higher than in some other Western European countries, you also have to remember the insanely high price level in Norway. To assuming that we are richer than others in the western world is very misleading, we have a much higher cost of living than most other western countries. We have a partially subsidized healthcare system, but this is nothing unique or extraordinary for Norway, this is the same in many other EU countries. Deductible for outpatient treatment, and free accommodation in hospital, this offer can be found in many countries in Europe. And one would think that the teeth are not part of the body in Norway. Dental health is not subsidized by the state, here you pay 100% of the price yourself, the state pays 0% of dental health after you turn 18. Norway has also gone downhill in recent years. We are in what I would call a financial crisis, although the media does not use that word. At one point, electricity became ten times more expensive, the price of petrol exploded, food has also become much more expensive, and housing interest rates have exploded, all this in one year. Despite all the price increases, and the fact that our currency is in inflation, the money has lost a lot of value, the amount of income is exactly the same. The poverty rate has always been low in Norway, but it has increased in recent years. A few years ago, 7% of the population was poor, now 10% of the population is poor. Although Norway is rich in resources, there are very few rich people. The working class is the majority, the other classes (middle class, upper class and lower class) are minorities. People think we are so much luckier than the other western countries (some western countries are exceptions, e.g. the USA and a few others), but otherwise it is not better here than in other countries in the first world, but of course better than in the second and third world. I have no goal of becoming rich, money is not the main key to having a good life, the most important thing is to have enough. I know a Spanish/Norwegian couple (Norwegian wife, Spanish husband) who have lived in both Norway and Spain. Spain has less natural resources than Norway, but the people who live there are no poorer than Norwegians. They earn less, but at the same time it is cheaper to live there, so it will be a similar standard of living, the majority of Spain is working class, the majority of Norway is working class. Poverty is a minority in Norway, poverty is a minority in Spain being lucky in life is more than money. Money is not the main key to a good life, having enough to survive is the most important thing, but it is very provocative when people say we are so extremely lucky, people who have never been to Norway, people who have only read about Norway on the internet abroad. I am told how lucky I am abroad, that I have no reason to be unhappy or depressed, no matter what. It is more than just money and politics that play a role in whether life is good or bad, mentality and the weather and what you have experienced in life play at least as big a role in whether the life you live is good or bad. I think you have to assess whether people are lucky or unlucky from person to person, and not from country to country, not from wallet to wallet. It is difficult to define who is lucky and who is unlucky (the exception is someone who is starving or someone who lives in a war zone), but if you are not starving and do not live in a war zone, then it is difficult to say who is luckiest and who is happiest, it also has a lot to say with whom you are surrounded with. I am Norwegian and have always lived in Norway, am I lucky? No, at least I haven't always been like that, I've experienced a lot of pain in my life, grief, trauma, two traffic accidents, been treated badly by many people, actually also by the Norwegian system several times, so even though I live in Norway, so I haven't always seen myself as lucky, I feel neutral now, neither lucky nor unlucky I have also experienced to not having enough money to primary necessary things for a while in a period, and at the moment I can not afford dentist, and I have an avarage income

So they dont tell you that this is old military equipment. Not money. Nobody in their right minds would ship billions of real money to Ukraine. They were one of the worlds most corrupt countries BEFORE the war, and certainly dont have the infrastructure to handle that stuff now. And when the US DOES give real money as aid, its always in the form of printed dollars. Its easy to give. When it doesnt have to cost them anything. When the money doesnt have to come out of already thin school, road, social budgets. Dollars for war is always just printed. In fact... This is a shocking bit of statistics that was just revealed. 80% of all the dollars in circulation... Was printed out of thin air in the last 2 years.

Norwegian ethics seem to stand out as a positive and I wouldn't be surprised if they use some of their new found wealth to aid Ukraine but If their business model is anything to go by then it won't be in cash, it would make sense for them to set up a managed trust fund in which Ukraine and themselves would both benefit from and the profits aid Ukraine for years to come. It wouldn't be out of the Question for Norway to invest heavily in Ukraine's oil and gas reserves with drilling etc once the war is over as it could use its knowledge in that field that it has, Also with duel management Ukraine may well adopt Norway's business model and become more powerful itself that in time would make Europe's gas and oil requirements easy between them and other producers within Europe without ever needing Russia again.

supporting ukraine is mistake, because its not the reason that war is in ukraine. there are so many things you dont get to hear in your media, so many things are hidden from public, but i will say, zelenski is war criminal, US puppet, and it is in US favor to create war with russia, because thats the whole point. Thats why zelenski fired missile to poland, to provoke world by saying russia did it. War in ukraine started with revolution when usa overthrew ukr goverment and installed the puppets. Yes bidan is deeply involved in it. But sheep will learn things the hard way and its going to be hard for them to swallow all the information. I have not hear a single word in norwegian or europian outlets how US tax payer money ir laundered in ukraina and sent back to democrats and used in midterms. i have nor heared a single word from norwegian outlets about BIO labs russians have destroyed in ukraina, that was sponsored by USA. Yes USA admited they have BIO labs in ukraina which were creating bacteria and viruses. Yes its official. None of you seem to remember the deal when USSR collapsed, that NATO will not move to russian borders. ukraina has to be a EU and NATO free zone like cuba in cold war. You think you can win war against russia? You cant, because none of you will get involved anyways, you just send money and weapons to corrupt ukr government and what they do? steal the money and sell the weapons.

What the Polish Prime Minister conveniently choose to obfuscate, is how the oil handling here directly benefits people, how people here are among the richest/happiest/highest standard of living in the world, including his Polish contract workers that have been working here for ages, and *LAST but not LEAST:* Norwegians are one of, if not _the_ most avid volunteer workers and charity donaters per capita *IN THE WORLD.* Norwegians have been sharing the wealth with _those who need it_ for *FOREVER.* Thank you. For comparison, the most charitable state in USA is Minnesota. Guess whose population migrated there? And still the average Norwegian citizen gives _10 times as much per capita_ than them. "Share the wealth" yeah. What a senseless, irrational, badly placed and timed, and insensible comment. What have we done military for Ukraine? Well you can check what is given per capita easily or calculate yourself. And that is only the *STATE.* And not even including charitable organizations or companies. Donating food, clothes, appliances, generators. Our postal service here, on their own volition, made it _free_ of charge to send packages to Ukraine. Because that is what people want and that is what people are doing. 33 000 Ukrainians have been taken into high standard living places or private homes. I feel like it's pointless to go on. Just know that if you're to take a jab at one of your brothers, you better make damn sure that someone won't piledrive you with a reality check. Lol Edit: Oh yeah and there's our 2 billion project off the top of my head to ensure Ukrainians have enough gas for the winter. Poland is emerging as a global and forward power. Perhaps it's time to attribute some credit to the Polish _people?_ How much resources did you give to Ukraine, Duda? After all, it was they that helped their Ukrainian brothers, not you mr. Duda.

Our Sovereign Wealth Fund also has a policy to not be any major stock holder in any company. We have a policy of not gaining such ownership that we affect the company policy / direction. Also worth remembering that it is our state and government who are the profiteers, not the general Norwegian population. The cost of living are rising here in Norway also, especially electricity and energy costs. Politicians has built pipelines to export gas and electricity to foreign nations, but doing so even if it's against the our constitution. The contracts established with EU (which we're not a member of) effectively promised away much of the energy produced by our renewable water sources. The same agreements forces european prices on energy on the Norwegian population as well, we have to pay equal/more for energy even if we are the country producing it. The last hundred years Norway has transitioned it's society to depend upon cheap energy (we don't use oil and gas for cooking and heating) and according to our National Sikkerhetsmyndighet (national security authority) our dependency on electricity is our biggest security issue. The average household in Norway use about 3500 kw/h a month and a lot of households can't even heat their house without it. There is a rising number of households and small companies that are having a real hard time staying afloat under these circumstances. My impression is that the general Norwegian population is pissed on our politicians and most of us want to reduce the amount of electricity exported, due to possible shortages and exploding prices here. We've had prices as high as 4-5-6 NOK kw/h and on average that is about 14-21K NOK a month in electricity bill (aprox €1350 - €2000 a month for electricity), worst estimates told us it could raise to 20 NOK kw/h (€6750 a month for 3500 kw/h usage). Our government has introduced policies which hides the cost for normal households (not small businesses) by paying back 80-90% of the electricity bill using tax money (which is our money also). The energy companies and foreign investors (which for some reason the politicians allowed investing in Norwegian energy infrastructure since 91) are the profiteers. I highly doubt the politicians were allowed to sign these contracts with EU, as our constitution prohibits it (it prohibits reducing Norwegian sovereignty to foreign countries and/or institutions, which they've done by allowing EU established organizations to control much of our energy infrastructure). To my knowledge those politicians have effectively committed treason. My guess is that if our national policies reflected the opinions of it's citizens more, then we would export less energy (not gass) and we would have not been apart of the EU energy pricing model. Why should our prices explode because of bad policies implemented by UK and German politicians (by shutting down local energy production)? It's not that we don't want to export, but we have to maintain national security first and foremost and a pricing model which is sustainable for our citizens (€1350 - $6750 a month is not!). The prices are OK now, but still many small companies struggle - and the winter is not here yet. Start up your powerplants again!

Norway IS supporting Ukraine. For example, the total foreign aid spending was 40.1B NOK in 2021. Norway is now giving an extra 8.3B NOK mostly to Ukraine, though a small portion goes to neighbouring countries (mainly Moldova). In addition, Norway is also spending 10.7B NOK on receiving fugitives from Ukraine. In other words, we (Norway) are spending almost 50% extra foreign aid, just to help Ukraine. Frankly, it pisses me off when "everyone" wants Norway to increase spendings to save the whole world. For DECADES we have been the country giving most per capita, and the last years we've given DOUBLE of what other contries gives, ie Switzerland, Finland, UK and Belgium, AND over FOUR TIMES as much as the average for OECD countries. And that's BEFORE we decided to spend 50% extra.

The importance of not mortally wounding the fund can not be fully stated. It is not for us to milk dry now for short term gratification. Your quarrel here is with the market and speculation that sets the prices rather than with the one supplier in that market that acts with some ethics and morals.

We are not raising the gas prices. The market that we are a part of, dictates to us what we have to charge for the gas. Just like in the stock market, it is illegal to sell at a lower price than the most eager buyer is willing to pay. That's how the market works. The truth of the matter is simple; Norway does not have the power to change the fundamental rules of global market economy. We also didn't force Putin to shut off the supply and we did not force him to go to war. That is also a power we don't have. But you're right; someone always makes a profit from war and I don't think that GPFG is the worst, helping stabilize the global economy and investing in companies and infrastructure around the world, which will include Ukraine when this is over.

Just for information! Norway has helped Ukraine by alot to pay many of the workers in the government in Ukraine the salary and will also increase the expenditure. And to mention the Norwegian state don't have any obligation to do so, but we would be helping out Ukraine anyway like we have been doing for so many other countries that has been in war. Something else to mention is that Norway and the oilfund are two different things when we are seeing how much money had been making money last few years. Would also mention one other thing is that. Norway and the sovereign wealth funds are two different things. Norway did made about $150 billion in 2022 Sovereign wealth funds did made about $287 billion in 2022 So therefor Norway it self did transfer $110 billion to Sovereign wealth fund and has now about $1,440 billion (one thousand and four hundred and forty billion dollar) in savings. End of 2021 the Norway State had only about $50 billion in debt, but choose not to pay of the debt because ongoing expenses and it's always to have some cash on hand, and would also have some debt to show to the market that they can be trustworthy. We could keep going 10 years without any income just because the oilfund. How many other countries could say that? One billion = $1,000,000,000

For many businesses this has made profit impossible and industires/businesses have closed because of it. Those with low income have also faced serious challenges when your monthly expenses go up with 10-20% in a matter of months. Do not think I'm overrating the situation when I claim it's the biggest crises since WW2. Norwegian industry suffers. Less work available.

Great segment as always! Ukraine and the western alliance has a good friend in Norway. Just some details about that for those who may be interested. Last month the Norwegian parliament decided to give $7.4 billion to Ukraine. That could e.g. cover a respectable airforce. It's not earmarked for that, but it could, if 74 F35s is respectable. Also uniforms, helmets and protective gear, 4000 manpads, Mistral SAMs, artillery, NASAMS (with the US), armored vehicles, Hellfire missiles, drones and munitions, thousands of artillery rounds and eight Leopard 2s. In addition to that humanitarian assistance, ambulances, hospital treatment for wounded soldiers and training of soldiers and field medics. Also, in all fairness, many countries make some additional profits due to instability caused by the war, e.g. countries with an arms industry, that export agricultural products and who produce LNG, which best describes the USA actually. A fact that rather strangely seems underreported in the US, where voices are complaining about high costs while business is pretty good. There is a lot of money changing hands now due to this conflict. And there's a lot of cheap (compared to LNG) gas flowing from the North Sea directly into Europe.

It's worth mentioning that Norway is the biggest contributor to Ukraine per capita, by a mile(as it should). So a lot of the extra income as a result of the war is directed back as aid. Therefore I don't think it's fair to use the very derogatory term "war profiteer" for Norway. They were in this business long before the war, and they have never tried to take advantage of the situation, quite the opposite. Just because you happen to be in a market, that happens to see increased prices because a war erupts, doesn't make you a war profiteer. Or to put it another way, if Norway is a war profiteer then so are everyone else selling things that have seen a price increase because of the war, so basically everyone. A war profiteer is any person or organization that derives _unreasonable profit_ from warfare or by selling weapons and other goods to _parties at war._

That is why we couldn't defend them to begin with, so you have to nuance the picture a bit.

Contributing to EU is a very unpopular opinion in Norway.

They took advantage of the market due to geopolitics. They are taking criticism for their insane profits, because it's due to the Ukraine war, and in one way blood money. And even if the oil fund is doing well, the Norwegians themselves are struggling big time due to low wage development vs. price development.

NGO's working with mental health and poverty reports increasing numbers of desperate people, this have made it into the news. Lay-offs from public institutions like FHI were announced today, same with the government's owned media NRK. Salmon food processing plants are shutting down putting more people out of work. The government implements taxes on energy, effectively shutting down older wind power plants and reducing the number of new ones being built all while we have a shortage of energy. The middle class is getting wiped out and the working class is pretty much facing the worst winter in modern history. The golden era is over. I hope my perception of the realities we are facing is wrong.

One quick correction; at around 7:45 you state that the first withdrawal from the fund was in 2016. This is wrong. The National Budget is corrected every year with around 30-40 billion dollars from the SWF, and this correction must adhere to the "Action Rule" (Rough translation of "Handlingsregelen") which states that no more than 4% of the value of the fund can be withdrawn any given year. To put this in perspective, the norwegian national budget has consistently been between around 140 billion dollars. This means that the Norwegian national budget is corrected as much as 30% every year, a correction that other countries usually do by taking on more debt. The Action Rule has been broken twice, once in 2008 because the fall of the funds value was severe and the cash was still needed, and once now during the pandemic.

This way everybody wins, without sacrifising the pension fund. I don't believe I'm the first to have these thoughts, there are some stumbling blocks, if the government decided to intervene in the -fund' investment decisions, the trust in the fund would evaporate.

I'm not against Norway stepping up and donating to Ukraine, I'm totally for it. But let me get this straight: Russia cuts its gas supply to Europe, causing a huge shortage in the market basically overnight. I'll repeat it - there is simply not enough oil and gas in the market. But hey, lets get angry with Norway and the other suppliers who are left to fill the gap, even tho they didn't create the supply shortage, weren't prepared for it, and also don't have the power to regulate international gas prices. Norway should be really ashamed of themselves for what Russia did and pay reparations to Ukraine (why to Ukraine in particular tho? Did the international gas sector bomb Ukraine? Or was it just the Norwegian one? When did this stop being about energy crisis and start being about the destruction in Ukraine?). Did i sum up the logic accurately?
