Government Pension Fund set to invest in real estate 
SPU investeres i eiendom
The Ministry of Finance has adopted rules for real estate investments in the Government Pension Fund Global. 
Finansdepartementet har fastsatt regler for eiendomsinvesteringer i Statens pensjonsfond utland (SPU).
"By investing in real estate, we spread the Fund’s risk even more. 
– Ved å investere i eiendom sprer vi risikoen i fondet ytterligere.
Real estate is the largest asset class after shares and bonds, and these investments fit well with the Fund’s investment profile", says Minister of Finance Sigbjørn Johnsen. 
Eiendom er den største investeringsklassen etter aksjer og obligasjoner, og investeringene passer godt inn i fondets investeringsprofil, sier finansminister Sigbjørn Johnsen.
The Ministry of Finance has previously signalled that up to 5 per cent of the Fund will be invested in real estate and that the Fund’s investments in bonds will be reduced correspondingly. 
Finansdepartementet har tidligere varslet at inntil 5 prosent av fondet skal investeres i fast eiendom, og at fondets investeringer i obligasjoner skal reduseres tilsvarende.
The Ministry of Finance has today adopted rules for how the Fund’s manager Norges Bank will undertake these investments. 
Finansdepartementet har i dag fastsatt regler for hvordan Norges Bank skal gjennomføre disse investeringene.
The rules allow for unlisted investments in real estate. 
Reglene åpner for unoterte investeringer i fast eiendom.
The real estate portfolio may represent up to 5 per cent of the Fund’s total value. 
Eiendomsporteføljen kan utgjøre inntil 5 prosent av fondets samlede verdi.
Today, this represents about NOK 130 billion. 
I dag utgjør dette om lag 130 milliarder kroner.
It will take several years to phase these funds into the real estate market. 
Det vil ta flere år å fase inn midlene i eiendomsmarkedet.
The regulations provide overall conditions for Norges Bank’s investments. 
Regelverket gir overordnede bestemmelser om Norges Banks investeringer.
These must be supplemented with internal rules within Norges Bank. 
Det må fylles ut gjennom interne regler og rammer i Norges Bank.
"In order to ensure that the investments are carried out in accordance with the Ministry’s guidelines, comprehensive reporting requirements have been established", says Minister of Finance Sigbjørn Johnsen. 
– For å sikre at investeringene gjennomføres i samsvar med departementets føringer, er det gitt omfattende rapporteringskrav, sier finansminister Sigbjørn Johnsen.
The return objective for the real estate portfolio will be determined through a global real estate index. 
Avkastningsmålet for eiendomsporteføljen vil bli fastsatt gjennom en global eiendomsindeks.
"In order to reduce risk, we have made it a requirement that the investments will be spread over time, over countries and over types of real estate. 
– For å minske risikoen har vi satt krav om at eiendomsinvesteringene skal spres over tid, land og eiendomstyper.
Investments will principally be made in well developed markets and within traditional types of real estate. 
Investeringene vil i hovedsak gjøres i velutviklede markeder og innenfor tradisjonelle eiendomstyper.
Even so, we must be prepared for real estate prices to fluctuate a good deal", says Johnsen. 
Like fullt må vi være forberedt på at eiendomsprisene vil svinge en god del, sier finansministeren.
The regulations came into force on 1 March 2010. 
Regelverket trer i kraft 1. mars 2010.

High activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, but still demanding conditions in the supply industry. 
Høy aktivitet i petroleumsvirksomheten, men fremdeles krevende tider for leverandørindustrien
- However, we still feel the effects from the financial crisis. 
-Vi er imidlertid ikke gjennom finanskrisen.
The supply industry is reporting demanding conditions and lower rates of incoming orders. 
Leverandørindustrien melder om lav ordretilgang og krevende tider.
As a consequence, the government is working to secure a competitive supply industry, which contributes to industry development and employment all over the country, says Terje Riis-Johansen, Minister of Petroleum and Energy. 
Regjeringen jobber derfor for å sikre en internasjonalt konkurransedyktig leverandørindustri som bidrar til næringsutvikling og arbeidsplasser over hele landet, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen
In the National Budget for 2010 (NB 2010) the average price of Norwegian crude oil is estimated at NOK 375/barrel for 2009, an upward adjustment of NOK 25/barrel compared to the Revised National Budget for 2009 (RNB 2009). 
Gjennomsnittlig oljepris per fat er i Nasjonalbudsjettet 2010 (NB 2010) anslått til 375 kroner i inneværende år, en oppjustering på 25 kroner sammenlignet med Revidert nasjonalbudsjett 2009 (RNB 2009).
Together with continued constraints on OPEC production, this gives reasons to expect a tighter market balance and firmer oil prices next year. 
Sammen med fortsatte produksjonsbegrensninger fra OPEC gir dette grunn til å forvente en strammere markedsbalanse og fastere oljeprisutvikling til neste år.
In NB 2010 the net cash flow is estimated to NOK 265 billion, an upward adjustment of NOK 3 billion compared to RNB2009. 
I NB 2010 anslås statens inntekter i 2009 å bli om lag 265 milliarder kroner, en oppjustering på om lag to milliarder kroner sammenlignet med RNB 09.
This constitutes about 26 percent of the state’s total income. 
Statens netto kontantstrøm utgjør anslagsvis 26 prosent av statens samlede inntekter i 2009.
In 2010 the state net cash flow from the petroleum sector is estimated at NOK 220 billion. 
For 2010 ventes en netto kontantstrøm på om lag 220 milliarder kroner.
Total oil production (including NGL* and condensate) is estimated at 2.3 million barrels per day in 2009, 7 per cent less than in 2008. 
Den samlede oljeproduksjonen (inkludert NGL* og kondensat) anslås til 2,3 millioner fat per dag i 2009, en nedgang på syv prosent fra 2008.
While the oil production is on a decline, the gas production is increasing. 
Samtidig som oljeproduksjonen avtar, øker gassproduksjonen.
This equals a volume growth of 7 per cent compared to 2008. 
Dette tilsvarer en volumvekst på syv prosent fra 2008.
The total recoverable resources at the Norwegian Continental Shelf amount to approximately 13.4 billion standard cubic meters oil equivalents. 
De totale utvinnbare ressursene på norsk sokkel utgjør i dag rundt 13,4 milliarder Sm3 olje ekvivalenter.
Today 54 per cent of our total recoverable oil resources are produced, while only 22 per cent of the gas resources are produced. 
I dag er 54 prosent av oljeressursene på norsk sokkel produsert mens kun 22 prosent av gassressursene er produsert.

Minister Riis-Johansen expressed that the EU is Norway’s by far largest market for oil and gas, and energy issues are interlinked not least concerning energy security. 
Statsråd Riis-Johansen ga uttrykk for at EU er Norges største marked for olje og gass.
The Minister and Commissioner Kroes agreed that the world will be dependent upon fossil fuels for decades to come and the challenge is to make the production and use of fossil fuels more environmentally friendly. 
Statsråden og kommissær Kroes var enige om at verden vil være avhengig av fossilt brensel i flere tiår framover, og at utfordringen er å gjøre produksjon og bruk av fossilt brensel mer miljøvennlig.
CCS is one important element in this respect. 
CO2-fangst, transport og lagring er et viktig element i denne sammenheng.
At the same time, there is a need for major parallel efforts in developing renewable energy and energy efficiency. 
Samtidig er det behov for betydelige parallelle tiltak for å utvikle fornybar energi og fremme mer effektiv energibruk.
