However, there remain 1.2 billion people who are still living in extreme poverty.
Likevel lever fortsatt 1,2 milliarder mennesker i ekstrem fattigdom.
The most important will be to eradicate extreme poverty.
Det viktigste målet er å utrydde ekstrem fattigdom.
The work on financing for the new goals is also starting now, and it is this work that Norway, together with Guyana, is to lead.
Arbeidet med finansiering av de nye målene begynner nå, og det er dette arbeidet Norge, sammen med Guyana, skal lede.
“Norway has been asked to play a key role because we enjoy considerable credibility in the UN.
- Norge er blitt spurt om å ha en nøkkelrolle fordi vi har stor troverdighet i FN.
We have relevant experience and have achieved good results in similar processes.
Vi har erfaring og har vist gode resultater fra lignende prosesser.
This work will also strengthen our profile as a constructive contributor to an effective UN.
Det vil også styrke vår profil som en konstruktiv bidragsyter til et effektivt FN.
International investment, trade, illicit financial flows, good governance, debt cancellation and effective management will be on the agenda.
Både internasjonale investeringer, handel, ulovlig kapitalflyt, godt styresett, gjeldslette og effektivitet vil stå på dagsorden.
It is particularly important to achieve closer cooperation between the public and private sectors,” said Mr Brende.
Særlig er det viktig med et tettere samarbeid mellom offentlige og private aktører, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.

Under the new regulatory framework, the scope and composition of the Fund’s unlisted real estate investments will be decided by Norges Bank, within an upper limit of 7 percent of the Fund.
Med den nye reguleringen vil omfanget og innretningen av investeringene i unotert eiendom være bestemt av Norges Bank, innenfor en øvre ramme på 7 prosent av SPU.
The government is not prepared to permit the GPFG to invest in unlisted infrastructure, nor to make changes for the GPFN.
Det legges ikke opp til å åpne for investeringer i unotert infrastruktur i SPU nå, og heller ikke til endringer for SPN.
Investment in unlisted real estate and infrastructure is a key topic in the white paper to the Storting on the management of the Government Pension Fund in 2015.
Et sentralt tema i Stortingsmeldingen om forvaltningen av Statens pensjonsfond i 2015 er vurderinger av investeringer i unotert eiendom og infrastruktur.
In 2008, it was decided that up to 5 percent of the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) should be invested in a separate real estate portfolio.
I 2008 ble det bestemt at inntil 5 prosent av Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU) skulle investeres i en egen eiendomsportefølje.
At the end of 2015, the real estate portfolio accounted for some 3 percent of the Fund, and continues to grow.
Eiendomsporteføljen utgjorde ved utgangen av 2015 vel 3 prosent av fondet og er fortsatt i en oppbyggingsfase.
The Ministry of Finance has assessed whether the proportion of the GPFG invested in real estate should be increased, and whether investment in unlisted infrastructure should be permitted.
Finansdepartementet har utredet om andelen av SPU som investeres i eiendom bør økes og om det bør åpnes for investeringer i unotert infrastruktur.
Consideration has also been given to whether the Government Pension Fund Norway (GPFN) should be allowed to make such investments.
Det er også vurdert slike investeringer for SPN.
As part of its assessments, the Ministry has obtained analyses and advice from an expert group, Norges Bank and Folketrygdfondet.
Som ledd i arbeidet har departementet innhentet analyser og råd fra en ekspertgruppe, og fra Norges Bank og Folketrygdfondet.
The report of the expert group was presented at a seminar in December 2015.
Ekspertgruppens rapport ble presentert på et seminar i desember 2015.
The Ministry has also arranged a dialogue meeting to discuss real estate and infrastructure investments.
Finansdepartementet har også arrangert et dialogmøte der eiendom og infrastruktur var tema.
Real estate investments in the GPFG The real estate portfolio forms part of the Fund’s benchmark index, and a valuation-based index for unlisted real estate values has been adopted as the return objective.
Eiendomsinvesteringer i SPU Eiendomsporteføljen inngår i fondets referanseindeks, og en takstbasert indeks for verdien av unotert eiendom er satt som avkastningsmål.
Both Norges Bank and the expert group point to weaknesses in this regulation.
Både Norges Bank og ekspertgruppen peker på svakheter ved denne reguleringen.
In the white paper, the Ministry of Finance presents plans to move away from the current provision that up to 5 percent of the GPFG shall be invested in a separate real estate portfolio.
Finansdepartementet legger i meldingen opp til å gå bort fra dagens bestemmelse om at inntil 5 pst. av fondet skal investeres i en egen eiendomsportefølje.
The Fund’s benchmark index will then only include listed equities and bonds.
Fondets referanseindeks vil dermed bestå av kun noterte aksjer og obligasjoner.
The Ministry in addition plans to cap investments in unlisted real estate at 7 percent of the GPFG.
Departementet legger i tillegg opp til å fastsette en øvre ramme for unotert eiendom på 7 prosent.
Returns on real estate may differ from the return on listed equities and bonds.
Avkastningen av eiendom kan utvikle seg forskjellig fra noterte aksjer og obligasjoner.
Accordingly, Norges Bank must aim for a lower proportion of unlisted real estate than 7 percent to avoid breaching the limit and having to liquidate holdings in the event of sharp, sudden drops in the value of the Fund’s listed investments.
Banken må derfor innrette forvaltningen mot en lavere andel unotert eiendom enn 7 prosent for å unngå brudd med rammen og salg i en situasjon med store og plutselige fall i verdien av de noterte investeringene.
“Under the new regulatory framework, the scope and composition of the Fund’s unlisted real estate investments will be decided by Norges Bank.
- Med den nye reguleringen vil omfanget og innretningen av investeringene i unotert eiendom være bestemt av Norges Bank.
This solution gives a clear division of labour between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank, as well as an overall limit of the Fund’s risk,” says Minister of Finance Siv Jensen.
Det gir en klar arbeidsdeling mellom Finansdepartementet og Norges Bank og sikrer en helhetlig styring av risikoen i fondet, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
Unlisted infrastructure in the GPFG It is uncertain whether unlisted infrastructure investments improve risk diversification or raise expected returns.
Unotert infrastruktur i SPU Det er usikkert om unoterte investeringer i infrastruktur gir bedre spredning av risiko eller høyere forventet avkastning.
Both the expert group and Norges Bank consider that the range of investment opportunities can be expanded by permitting investment in unlisted infrastructure.
Både ekspertgruppen og Norges Bank mener likevel en åpning for unotert infrastruktur kan gi fondet bedre investeringsmuligheter.
The Fund’s distinctive characteristics and potential management advantages can make it profitable to exploit such opportunities.
Særtrekk ved fondet og mulige fortrinn hos forvalter kan gjøre det verdt å utnytte slike muligheter.
However, such advantages are difficult to quantify.
Slike fordeler er vanskelige å tallfeste.
The unlisted infrastructure market is small for the GPFG .
Markedet for unotert infrastruktur er lite for SPU.
Uncertain estimates indicate that unlisted infrastructure accounts for just 0.5 percent of the global investable capital market.
Usikre anslag tyder på at unotert infrastruktur bare utgjør 0,5 prosent av det investerbare kapitalmarkedet i verden.
The majority of the infrastructure market is listed, unlike the largely unlisted real estate market.
Mesteparten av markedet for infrastruktur er notert på børs, i motsetning til eiendomsmarkedet der mesteparten er unotert.
“In our view, a number of important factors indicate that investments in unlisted infrastructure should not be permitted.
- Flere viktige forhold taler etter vårt syn mot å åpne for investeringer i unotert infrastruktur.
Such investments are exposed to high regulatory or political risk.
Slike investeringer er utsatt for stor regulatorisk eller politisk risiko.
Conflicts with the authorities of other countries regarding the regulation of transport, energy supply and other important public goods will generally be difficult to handle and will entail reputational risk for the Fund.
Konflikter med andre lands myndigheter om regulering av transport, energiforsyning og andre viktige fellesgoder vil generelt være krevende, og innebærer risiko for fondets omdømme.
The Government considers that a transparent, politically endorsed state fund like the GPFG is less suited to bear this type of risk than other investors.
Regjeringen mener et åpent og politisk forankret statlig fond som SPU er mindre egnet til å bære denne type risiko enn andre investorer.
Following an overall assessment, the Ministry is not prepared to permit the GPFG to invest in unlisted infrastructure at this stage.
Etter en samlet vurdering legges det ikke opp til å åpne opp for unoterte infrastrukturinvesteringer i SPU nå.
It would be useful to gain more experience from unlisted real estate before any expansion to additional types of unlisted investment,” says Ms Jensen.
Det vil være nyttig å høste mer erfaring fra investeringene i unotert eiendom før en eventuelt utvider til flere typer unoterte investeringer, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
“The GPFG has a financial target, and is not an instrument for promoting state investment in developing countries or renewable energy.
- SPU har et finansielt mål og er ikke et instrument for å fremme statens investeringer i utviklingsland eller fornybar energi.
There is no financial rationale for permitting infrastructure investments only in these sub-markets.
Det er ingen finansiell begrunnelse for å åpne for investeringer i infrastruktur i disse delmarkedene alene.
There are already many public schemes to promote investment in developing countries and renewable energy.
Det er allerede mange offentlige ordninger for å fremme investeringer i utviklingsland og fornybar energi.
Moreover, the Storting has asked the Government to prepare the establishment of a limited company mandated to invest in companies that develop and use green technologies, in partnership with the private sector.
Stortinget har dessuten anmodet Regjeringen om å forberede opprettelsen av Fornybar AS, som sammen med private skal kunne investere i selskaper som utvikler og benytter grønn teknologi.
The Government will return to this question in its revised budget for 2016,” says the Minister of Finance.
Regjeringen vil komme tilbake til dette i revidert budsjett for 2016, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.
Unlisted investments in the GPFG The GPFN invests primarily in Norway.
Unoterte investeringer i SPN SPN er i hovedsak investert i Norge.
The state already has substantial real estate and infrastructure holdings in Norway.
Staten er allerede en stor eier av eiendom og infrastruktur i Norge.
Accordingly, there is little rationale for the state in investing part of the GPFN in unlisted real estate and infrastructure to improve risk diversification.
For staten er det lite hensiktsmessig å investere deler av SPN i unotert eiendom og infrastruktur for å oppnå bedre risikospredning.
“The Norwegian infrastructure investment market is small and undeveloped.
- Det norske markedet for investeringer i infrastruktur er lite og umodent.
Any investments in infrastructure by the GPFN will most likely result from the sale of such assets by the central or local government.
Investeringer i infrastruktur gjennom SPN ville mest sannsynlig vært et resultat av at stat eller kommune solgte slike aktiva.
Such a change of ownership will leave the state’s overall risk level unchanged, and usually generate significant transaction costs.
Det ville ikke påvirket den samlede risikoen for det offentlige, samtidig som kostnadene ved denne typen transaksjoner normalt er høye.
Following an overall assessment, we are not prepared to permit the GPFN to invest in unlisted real estate and infrastructure,” says Minister of Finance Siv Jensen.
Etter en samlet vurdering legges det ikke opp til å åpne opp for unotert eiendom og infrastruktur i SPN, sier finansminister Siv Jensen.

It is probably fair to state that in this field, the cooperation between the “traditional” parties has paved the way for an opening of gates otherwise closed into the workplace, and thus provided researchers with access to topics and cases from the real working life.

For instance, despite progresses in medicine and the general level of public health, we continue to observe increased demand on health-related welfare benefits – which in turn are often based on increasingly diffuse and complex diagnoses.

Simultaneously, we have a challenge of a very different nature: A substantial number of our most experienced and senior researchers approach retirement age, pointing to a pressing need for sufficient financing of new research activities, the training of a new generation of researchers, and transfer of knowledge between generations.
