‘The expulsion of Toby Lanzer is unacceptable, and we urge South Sudan to reverse the decision.
- Utvisningen av Toby Lanzer er uakseptabel og vi oppfordrer Sør-Sudan til å omgjøre beslutningen.
Norway fully supports the UN in this matter,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Norge støtter FN fullt og helt i denne saken, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
‘This decision will have a negative impact on the UN’s crucial and extensive humanitarian efforts in South Sudan.
- Dette får negative følger for FNs omfattende og viktige humanitære innsats i Sør-Sudan.
We cannot see that anyone will benefit from the expulsion of Mr Lanzer,’ said Mr Brende.
Vi kan ikke se at noen har noe å tjene på denne utvisningen, sier Brende.
Since the armed conflict in South Sudan broke out in December 2013, more than two million people have been forced to flee their homes, and a great many of them have sought refuge in South Sudan’s neighbouring countries.
Siden kamphandlinger i Sør-Sudan brøt ut i desember 2013 har mer enn to millioner mennesker flyktet fra sine hjem og mange har søkt trygghet i nabolandene.
Renewed hostilities in recent weeks have forced an additional 100 000 people to flee, and there are reports of civilians being killed and of gross violations of human rights.
Nye kamper de siste ukene har tvunget nye 100.000 mennesker på flukt og det rapporteres om drap på sivile og grove menneskerettighetsbrudd.
Some 3.8 million people are dependent on emergency assistance to survive, and this figure is expected to rise during the summer.
3,8 millioner er avhengige av nødhjelp for å overleve og tallet anslås å øke gjennom sommeren.
‘Toby Lanzer has played a key role in ensuring that lifesaving assistance reaches the civilian population.
- Toby Lanzers innsats har vært sentral i å sikre at livreddende hjelp når frem til sivilbefolkningen.
South Sudan’s expulsion of UN employee unacceptable
Sør-Sudans utvisning av FN-ansatt er uakseptabel
The South Sudanese authorities have decided to expel the UN Humanitarian Coordinator and Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer.
Sørsudanske myndigheter har besluttet å utvise FNs humanitære koordinator og nestleder for FN i landet, Toby Lanzer.
The Fund is managed in a transparent and sustainable manner.
Fondet forvaltes på en åpen og langsiktig måte.
Both Norges Bank and Folketrygdfondet have performed well over time, says Siv Jensen, Minister of Finance.
Både Norges Bank og Folketrygdfondet har levert gode resultater over tid, sier finansminister Siv Jensen (FrP).
The Government is today submitting its white paper on the management of the Government Pension Fund in 2016 to the Storting.
Regjeringen legger i dag frem stortingsmeldingen om forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond i 2016.
Sound returns in 2016 At yearend 2016, the value of the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) was NOK 7,507 billion and the value of the Government Pension Fund Norway (GPFN) was NOK 212 billion.
God avkastning i 2016 Ved utgangen av 2016 var verdien av Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU) 7 507 mrd. kroner og verdien av Statens pensjonsfond Norge (SPN) 212 mrd. kroner.
Last year, Norges Bank achieved an excess return of 0.15 percentage points, compared to the benchmark index defined by the Ministry.
Norges Bank oppnådde i fjor en meravkastning på 0,15 prosentenheter sammenliknet med referanseindeksen fra departementet.
The corresponding figure for Folketrygdfondet was 1.17 percentage points.
Tilsvarende tall for Folketrygdfondet var 1,17 prosentenheter.
Norges Bank and Folketrygdfondet report excess returns, risks and costs, across the various asset management strategies.
De to forvalterne rapporterer meravkastning, risiko og kostnader fordelt på de ulike strategiene i forvaltningen.
For the GPFN, there was either a positive or no excess return last year.
For SPN var det i fjor enten positiv eller ingen meravkastning.
For the GPFG, there were also some strategies with a negative excess return.
For SPU var det også noen strategier med mindreavkastning.
The benefits and costs of the various strategies for the GPFG will be assessed in the upcoming review of Norges Bank’s management.
Neste års fondsmelding vil inneholde en gjennomgang av Norges Banks forvaltning.
Responsible management Within the scope of its overarching financial objective, the Government Pension Fund shall be a responsible investor.
Ansvarlig forvaltning Innenfor den overordnede finansielle målsettingen skal Statens pensjonsfond være en ansvarlig investor.
Responsible management has evolved considerably over the last decade.
Arbeidet med ansvarlig forvaltning har utviklet seg mye det siste tiåret.
The GPFG and the GPFN are playing a leading role internationally in this field.
SPU og SPN er ledende internasjonalt på dette området.
In 2016, two new criteria were included in the Guidelines for observation and exclusion from the GFPG.
I 2016 ble det tatt inn to nye kriterier i retningslinjene for observasjon og utelukkelse.
This criterion is to a large extent an international innovation.
Dette kriteriet er langt på vei nybrottsarbeid internasjonalt.
The other criterion targets mining companies and energy producers that derive 30 percent or more of their revenues from thermal coal or base 30 percent or more of their operations on thermal coal.
Det andre kriteriet retter seg mot gruveselskaper og kraftprodusenter som har 30 prosent eller mer av sine inntekter fra termisk kull, eller baserer 30 prosent eller mer av sin virksomhet på termisk kull.
The exclusion of 59 companies under the coal criterion, in addition to 11 being placed under observation, was published in 2016.
Det ble i 2016 offentliggjort utelukkelse av 59 selskaper og 11 ble satt til observasjon etter kullkriteriet.
Important responsible management tools are international standards and research, company dialogue, clear expectations towards companies, as well as the submission of proposals and voting in shareholder meetings.
Viktige virkemidler i den ansvarlige forvaltningen er internasjonale standarder og forskning, dialog med selskaper, klare forventninger til selskapene, samt å fremme forslag og stemme på generalforsamlinger.
Norges Bank has announced that these efforts will soon be supplemented by a new expectation document on transparency in international corporate taxation.
Norges Bank har varslet at dette arbeidet om kort tid vil bli supplert med et nytt forventningsdokument om åpenhet i internasjonal selskapsbeskatning.
Climate risk Climate is an important financial risk factor for the Government Pension Fund in the long run.
Klimaspørsmål i forvaltningen Klima er en viktig, finansiell risikofaktor for Statens pensjonsfond på lang sikt.
The Fund is especially exposed to systemic risk because it is large and has a long time horizon as well as investments spread across thousands of companies.
Fondet er særlig utsatt for systemisk risiko fordi det er stort, langsiktig og har investeringer spredt på flere tusen selskaper.
Systemic climate risk stems from economic growth and overall corporate earnings being affected by climate change, climate policy and technological development.
Systemisk klimarisiko oppstår ved at økonomisk vekst og samlet inntjening i selskapene påvirkes av klimaendringer, klimapolitikk og teknologiutvikling.
– Our funds are large investors in the markets where they operate, and shall promote improved international standards and corporate reporting on climate issues.
– Våre fond er store investorer i markedene de opererer i, og skal bidra til å forbedre internasjonale standarder og selskapsrapportering på klimaområdet.
The funds have developed a number of tools for handling climate risk, says the Minister of Finance, Siv Jensen.
Begge fondene har utviklet en rekke virkemidler for å håndtere klimarisikoen, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
There are, as part of the responsible management effort, separate mandates for environment-related investments in the GPFG.
Som ledd i den ansvarlige forvaltningen er det egne mandater for miljørelaterte investeringer i SPU.
About NOK 64 billion was invested under these mandates at the end of 2016.
Om lag 64 mrd. kroner var investert gjennom disse mandatene ved utgangen av 2016.
Ongoing initiatives A commission is reviewing the Central Bank Act and the governance structure of Norges Bank, including alternative governance models for the GPFG.
Arbeid som pågår Et utvalg ledet av Svein Gjedrem vurderer sentralbankloven og styringsstrukturen i Norges Bank, herunder alternative styrings- og selskapsmodeller for SPU.
The commission will submit its recommendations by 30 June 2017.
Utvalget skal levere sin innstilling innen 30. juni 2017.
