In this way we will use aid strategically to mobilise private investments that promote development,’ said Mr Brende.
Slik bruker vi bistanden strategisk for å utløse private investeringer som fremmer utvikling, sier Brende.
Cooperation with Norwegian higher education and knowledge institutions will therefore be important in connection with our efforts to promote private sector development.
Derfor vil samarbeid med norske forsknings- og høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner være viktig i forbindelse med innsats for næringsutvikling.
‘We will make better use of the various actors’ strengths than we have done before.
- Ulike aktørers fortrinn skal utnyttes på en bedre måte enn tidligere.
We will cooperate with the Norwegian private sector and knowledge institutions in areas where they can make a particular contribution, especially in the energy, ICT, agriculture, fish/marine resources and maritime sectors.
Dette gjelder særlig energi, IKT, landbruk, fisk/marine ressurser og maritim sektor.
‘We will look for opportunities to co-finance education projects or other measures, in areas where the private sector and the development aid sector have interests in common.
- Vi vil se på muligheter for samfinansiering av utdanningsprosjekter eller andre tiltak, der både næringsliv og bistand har en sammenfallende interesse.
But private sector engagement must be based on the competitiveness of the projects concerned, and not be a form of subsidy,’ said Mr Brende.
Men næringslivets engasjement skal være basert på konkurransedyktighet, ikke subsidiering, sier Brende.
Other key actions that the Government announces in the white paper include:
Andre viktige tiltak som regjeringen varsler i meldingen er:
Increasing Norway’s support for private sector development in developing countries.
Øke norsk støtte til næringsutvikling i utviklingsland,

New white paper on Norwegian development assistance:
Ny melding til Stortinget om norsk bistand:
“The Government Pension Fund is our national savings account, and an important part of fiscal policy.
- Statens pensjonsfond er vår felles sparekasse og en viktig del av den økonomiske politikken.
We practice great transparency about the Fund’s management.
Det er stor åpenhet om forvaltningen.
Norges Bank and Folketrygdfondet have successfully managed the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) and Government Pension Fund Norway (GPFN), respectively.
Norges Bank og Folketrygdfondet har forvaltet henholdsvis Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU)og Statens pensjonsfond Norge (SPN)på en god måte over tid.
The Government has now decided to further strenghten the management of the Fund,” says Minister of Finance Siv Jensen.
Regjeringen styrker nå forvaltningen av fondet ytterligere, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
Evaluation of unlisted investments Investment in unlisted real estate and infrastructure by both the GPFG and GPFN is a key topic in the white paper, which lays out plans to change the regulations governing the GPFG’s real estate investments.
Har utredet unoterte investeringer Et sentralt tema i meldingen er vurderinger av investeringer i unotert eiendom og infrastruktur i både SPU og SPN.
The managements costs of the two funds amounted to 0.06 percent and 0.09 percent of fund capital, respectively.
Forvaltningskostnadene i de to fondene utgjorde henholdsvis 0,06 prosent og 0,09 prosent av fondskapitalen.
“For many years, substantial petroleum revenues have boosted the GPFG’s capital year by year.
- I mange år har høye petroleumsinntekter bidratt til at kapitalen i SPU har økt år for år.
Going forward, its growth will be determined primarily by returns in the international financial markets,” says Ms Jensen.
Framover må vi regne med at verdiutviklingen i all hovedsak bestemmes av avkastningen i de internasjonale finansmarkedene, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
Transparent management The Ministry of Finance adopted new reporting and risk management requirements for the GPFG on 1 February 2016.
Åpenhet om forvaltningen Den 1. februar 2016 fastsatte Finansdepartementet nye krav til rapportering og styring av risiko i SPU.
At the same time, the Bank has been given a somewhat higher limit to deviate from the benchmark index.
Samtidig er rammen for Norges Banks avvik fra referanseindeksen økt noe.
Transparency may also strengthen the ability to pursue profitable long-term strategies in periods when with returns below the benchmark index,” says the Minister of Finance.
Åpenhet kan også styrke evnen til å holde fast ved lønnsomme, langsiktige strategier, også i perioder med lavere avkastning enn referanseindeksen, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
Responsible investment The Government Pension Fund has overarching financial objectives, but also aims to be a responsible investor.
Ansvarlig forvaltning Statens pensjonsfond har overordnede finansielle mål, men skal også være en ansvarlig investor.
Climate and ethical considerations have long been a part of its management.
Klimahensyn og etiske vurderinger har lenge vært del av forvaltningen.
Two new criteria have recently been included in the ethically motivated guidelines on the exclusion of companies from the GPFG.
To nye kriterier er nylig tatt inn i de etisk motiverte retningslinjene for utelukkelse av selskaper fra SPU.
One criterion targets conduct resulting in unacceptable greenhouse gas emissions at aggregate company level.
Det ene retter seg mot atferd som på selskapsnivå i uakseptabel grad fører til utslipp av klimagasser.
The other targets companies engaged in coal extraction and coal-based energy production.
Det andre retter seg mot selskaper med virksomhet innen kullutvinning og kullkraft.
Strengthened management of the Government Pension Fund
Styrker forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond
The Government has today published its white paper on the management of the Government Pension Fund in 2015.
Regjeringen legger i dag frem Stortingsmeldingen om forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond i 2015.
The EEA and Norway Grants: Strengthening contact between the north and south of Cyprus
Styrker kontakten mellom nord og sør på Kypros
Through the EEA and Norway Grants, Norway is helping to facilitate dialogue between the two communities on the divided island of Cyprus.
Gjennom EØS-midlene bidrar Norge til økt dialog mellom befolkningene på den delte øya Kypros.
A large proportion of the funds provided in the period up to 2014 are earmarked for civil society support.
En stor del av støtten fram til 2014 er øremerket det sivile samfunn.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Nicosia this afternoon.
Avtalen ble undertegnet i Nikosia i ettermiddag.
“The physical division of the island is hardly conducive to fostering dialogue and understanding between the two communities.
– Den fysiske delingen av øya har ikke levnet mye rom for dialog og forståelse mellom de to samfunnene.
Through the EEA and Norway Grants, Norway will continue efforts to forge contacts between north and south at grass-roots level.
Gjennom EØS-midlene vil Norge fortsette arbeidet med å knytte kontakter på grasrota mellom nord og sør.
Such dialogue could help Cyprus to find a solution to this protracted conflict in the long term,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Slik dialog kan være et bidrag til at Kypros på sikt kan finne en løsning på den langvarige konflikten, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Cyprus will receive NOK 62 million through the EEA and Norway Grants in the period up to 2014.
Kypros mottar 62 millioner kroner i EØS-midler fram til 2014.
About 25% of this amount is earmarked for civil society support.
Omlag 25 prosent av bidraget er satt av til å styrke det sivile samfunn.
A separate Fund for Non-Governmental Organisations will be set up, which will give priority to projects involving both the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot communities.
Et eget fond for frivillige organisasjoner skal prioritere å støtte prosjekter som involverer både den greskkypriotiske og den tyrkiskkypriotiske befolkningen.
Funding will continue to be given to the Home for Cooperation Centre.
I tillegg fortsetter støtten til senteret «Home for Cooperation».
The centre, which was established with Norwegian support during the previous grant period, is located in the UN-controlled buffer zone in the capital, Nicosia.
Senteret ble reist med norsk støtte i den forrige runden med EØS-midler og ligger i den FN-kontrollerte buffersonen i hovedstaden Nikosia.
The centre is a unique meeting place for the two communities and offers a number of activities, such as exhibitions, research and education, as well as office space for NGOs from both sides.
Senteret er en unik møteplass for de to befolkningsgruppene og tilbyr en rekke aktiviteter: utstillinger, forskning, opplæring og kontorplasser for frivillige organisasjoner fra begge sider.
In addition to allocations for NGOs and civil society, funds have been earmarked for programmes in a number of sectors in which Norwegian partners are also involved.
I tillegg til frivillige organisasjoner og det sivile samfunn, er det satt av penger til programmer innen flere sektorer også med norske samarbeidspartnere.
For example, the Norwegian Crisis Centre Secretariat has been commissioned to participate in establishing a crisis centre for abused women and children.
Blant annet er Krisesentersekretariatet engasjert for å delta i opprettelsen av et krisesenter for voldsutsatte kvinner og barn.
The funding provided via the EEA and Norway Grants is Norway’s contribution to reducing social and economic disparities in Europe.
EØS-midlene er Norges bidrag til å redusere sosiale og økonomiske ulikheter i Europa.
The Grants are also intended to strengthen cooperation between Norway and the beneficiary states.
Støtten skal også styrke samarbeidet mellom Norge og mottakerlandene.
Around NOK 14 billion is available under the Grants for the period up to 2014.
EØS-midlene utgjør rundt 14 milliarder kroner fram til 2014.
Norway is providing 97% of this amount, while Iceland and Liechtenstein are providing the rest.
Norges andel er 97 prosent, mens Island og Liechtenstein står for resten av bidraget.
