– The performance of the Norwegian economy has contributed to good results and good earnings for Norwegian financial institutions, particularly for banks.
– God utvikling i norsk økonomi har bidratt til gode resultater og god inntjening i norske finansinstitusjoner, og særlig bankene.
Norwegian banks have strengthened their solvency significantly in recent years, due to both new capital requirements and demands from lenders and other financial markets participants.
Norske banker har styrket sin soliditet vesentlig de senere årene, både som følge av nye kapitalkrav og høyere krav til soliditet fra långivere og andre aktører.
Many Norwegian banks are important in their regions.
Mange norske banker er viktige i sine regioner.
The Ministry of Finance has decided not to include a regional criterion for the identification of systemically important institutions.
Finansdepartementet har valgt ikke å legge et regionkriterium til grunn for identifiseringen av systemviktige banker.
It is nevertheless important that Finanstilsynet follows up on the regional banks’ capital adequacy, to ensure that they are well prepared to meet downturns in the economy.
Det er likevel viktig at Finanstilsynet følger opp kapitaldekningen i regionbankene, slik at de står godt rustet til å møte tilbakeslag i økonomien.
In general, it is important that banks continue to strengthen their solvency, says Minister of Finance Siv Jensen.
Generelt er det viktig at alle banker fortsetter å styrke sin soliditet, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.

Regulation and decision on systemically important financial institutions
Forskrift og beslutning om systemviktige finansinstitusjoner
Regulation of payment services - Simpler rules for hawala-systems and other money remittance systems
Enklere regler for «hawala»-virksomhet og andre pengeoverføringsvirksomheter
It is proposed to regulate payment services in Norway in accordance with EEA rules.
Det foreslås å regulere adgangen til å tilby betalingstjenester i Norge i tråd med EØS-regler.
- Today, such informal value transfer businesses mainly operate outside governmental control.
– I dag drives «hawala»-virksomhet stort sett utenfor myndighetenes kontroll.
“Hawala” gives people living in Norway, the ability to send money home to their families who live in parts of the world who do not have a functioning banking system.
”Hawala” gir personer bosatt i Norge, mulighet til å sende penger hjem til familie som bor i deler av verden som ikke har et fungerende banksystem.
This is a very important contribution to the local economy in many poor countries.
Dette er et særdeles viktig bidrag til den lokale økonomien i mange fattige land.
From that perspective, it has long been a political desire to facilitate regulated and legal alternatives for such money transfers.
Slik sett har det lenge vært et politisk ønske å kunne legge til rette for regulerte og lovlige alternativer for slik pengeoverføring.
I am pleased we now have this in place, says Johnsen.
Jeg er svært glad vi nå får dette på plass, sier Johnsen.
- The cost of money transfers to foreign countries can often be high, and the market for this kind of service is not very transparent.
– Kostnaden for pengeoverføringer til utlandet kan ofte være høy, og markedet for denne typen tjenester er lite oversiktlig.
This measure will contribute to that a larger share of such services takes place in regulated forms, and will hopefully contribute to transparency and greater competition, which serves consumers, says Minister of Children, Equality and Social Inclusion Audun Lysbakken.
Dette tiltaket skal bidra til at en større andel av tjenestene skjer i regulerte former, og vil forhåpentlig bidra til åpenhet og sterkere konkurranse, som tjener forbrukerne, sier barne- likestillings- og inkluderingsminister Audun Lysbakken.
Companies with limited permit can only offer money transfers up to a maximum of NOK 5 million per month.
Foretak med begrenset tillatelse kan kun tilby betalingstjenesten pengeoverføringer, og kan etter forslaget maksimalt overføre 5 millioner kroner per måned.
