A robust investment strategy with good results
En robust investeringsstrategi med bred oppslutning
“The returns on the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) in 2010 were good.
– Det var gode resultater for Statens pensjonsfond utland i 2010.
The overall results of the last years show that the large losses during the financial crisis has been more than compensated by the gains made in the subsequent market upswing.
De store verdifallene under finanskrisen er mer enn oppveid av gevinstene i oppgangsperioden som fulgte.
One important reason is that we held on firmly to the long-term investment strategy,” says Minister of Finance Sigbjørn Johnsen.
En viktig grunn er at vi holdt fast ved den langsiktige investeringsstrategien, sier finansminister Sigbjørn Johnsen.

En viktig grunn er at vi holdt fast ved den langsiktige investeringsstrategien.
The government today presented the annual report on the management of the Fund to the Storting (Norwegian Parliament).
Regjeringen legger i dag fram meldingen til Stortinget om forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond i 2010.
The total market value of the GPFG increased by NOK 437 billion in 2010, to NOK 3 077 billion (USD 525 billion).
Den samlede markedsverdien til Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU) økte med 437 milliarder kroner i 2010, til 3 077 milliarder kroner.
The increase was due to transfers to the fund of NOK 185 billion and return on the Fund’s investments of NOK 264 billion.
Avkastningen på plasseringene var 9,6 prosent, tilsvarende 264 milliarder kroner.
Norges Bank Investment Management achieved good results in both the equity and bond management.
Norges Bank oppnådde gode resultater i den aktive forvaltningen.
There is still much uncertainty about the further performance of the financial markets, and we must be prepared for new periods of volatility," says the Minister of Finance.
Vi må være forberedt på at avkastningen fortsatt kommer til å svinge mye.
“The basis for the strategy work remains to seek to achieve maximum international purchasing power within moderate risk limits.
– Utgangspunktet for arbeidet med strategien vil fortsatt være å søke høyest mulig internasjonal kjøpekraft innenfor moderat risiko.
The Fund is managed on behalf of the Norwegian people.
Pensjonsfondet forvaltes på vegne av den norske befolkningen.
“In the report there is a discussion about whether the GPFG should be invested in private equity and infrastructure.
– Meldingen drøfter om SPU bør investeres i unoterte aksjer og infrastruktur.
The GPFG’s size, strong liquidity and long investment horizon make it natural to evaluate investments in less liquid asset classes such as private equity and infrastructure.
Fondets størrelse og lange tidshorisont gjør det naturlig å vurdere slike investeringer.
Both documents are presented in the report.

US government removes penalty tariffs on Norwegian salmon
Amerikanske myndigheter fjerner straffetoll på norsk laks
The US International Trade Commission has today decided to remove the more than 20-year old anti-dumping and countervailing duty tariffs imposed on Norwegian salmon entering the USA.
US International Trade Commission har i dag besluttet å fjerne den over 20 år gamle antidumpingtollen på norsk laks i USA.
The salmon industry is very export-oriented and depends on fair and predictable trading conditions.
Laksenæringen er svært eksportrettet og avhengig av gode og forutsigbare handelsbetingelser.
That is why this is such an important decision, says the minister for fisheries and coastal affairs, Lisbeth Berg-Hansen.
Dette er derfor en viktig avgjørelse, sier fiskeri- og kystminister Lisbeth Berg-Hansen.
In 1991, the USA introduced an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measure against import of whole fresh salmon from Norway.
USA innførte i 1991 anti-dumping og anti-subsidietiltak mot importen av hel fersk laks fra Norge.
The WTO agreement obliges the US government to carry out a review of whether the punitive tariff should continue every fifth year.
WTO-avtalen pålegger amerikanske myndigheter hvert femte år å foreta en gjennomgang av hvorvidt straffetollen skal videreføres.
