Norway is providing NOK 100 million for fossil-fuel subsidy reform,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende. 
Vi støtter arbeidet med 100 millioner kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
In some developing countries, the cost of these subsidies amounts to 20 % of GDP. 
I noen utviklingsland utgjør slike subsidier 20 prosent av BNP.
In 2014, the Government adopted a strategy for promoting fossil fuel subsidy reform at the international level. 
Regjeringen vedtok i 2014 sin internasjonale strategi for reform av subsidier til fossile brensler.
'Norway will provide support to developing countries that are seeking to reduce subsidies for coal and other fossil fuels. 
- Norge vil støtte utviklingsland som ønsker å redusere sine subsidier til kull og fossilt brensel.
At the same time, the energy sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. 
Samtidig er energi en stor kilde til utslipp av klimagasser.
By using aid to trigger commercial investments in renewable energy production, we are contributing to sustainable economic growth and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,’ said Mr Brende. 
Når vi bruker bistand til å utløse kommersielle investeringer i fornybar kraftproduksjon, bidrar vi både til økonomisk og bærekraftig vekst, og til reduserte klimautslipp, sier Brende.
There is a pressing need to create jobs in poor countries, and it will be essential to find new sources of financing other than aid. 
Det er også et stort behov for å skape nye arbeidsplasser i fattige land.
In cooperation with the private sector, Norway will seek to promote job creation and the generation of tax revenues in poor countries,’ said Mr Brende. 
I partnerskap med privat sektor skal Norge bidra til at det skapes jobber og skatteinntekter i fattige land, sier Brende.
A 50 % increase in the annual capital allocation to Norfund by 2021 will mean an additional NOK 750 million in funding, i.e. an increase from the current annual allocation of NOK 1.5 billion to NOK 2.25 billion. 
En økning på 50 prosent av de årlige overføringene av kapital til Norfund innen 2021 innebærer en økning på 750 millioner fra dagens 1,5 milliarder til 2,25 milliarder.
In due course, around half of the funding provided will be invested in renewable energy. 
Over tid skal om lag halvparten av den tilførte kapitalen til Norfund være investert i fornybar energi.
The SDGs clearly recognise the fact that aid alone cannot bring about development. 
En viktig erkjennelse i bærekraftsmålene er at bistand alene ikke skaper utvikling.
Major flows of capital need to be mobilised, primarily from private sources. 
Større kapitalstrømmer må mobiliseres, primært fra private kilder.
One of the biggest obstacles to sustainable business development is a lack of access to risk capital. 
En stor utfordring for bærekraftig næringsutvikling er tilgang på risikovillig kapital.
By helping to improve the framework conditions for the private sector and reduce risk, aid can be used as a catalyst for attracting increased private investment. 
Ved å bidra til bedre rammevilkår og avlaste risiko kan bistand virke katalytisk for økte private investeringer.
Norfund can invest in all countries on the DAC list of ODA recipients, but will seek to focus on sub-Saharan Africa and the least developed countries.

In 2016, Norfund entered into investment agreements worth NOK 2.8 billion. 
I 2016 inngikk Norfund investeringsavtaler for 2,8 milliarder kroner.

Repeal of exclusions from the Government Pension Fund Global 
Oppheving av utelukkelser fra Statens pensjonsfond utland
In November 2009, the Council on Ethics recommended the exclusion of the Israeli company Africa Israel Investments Ltd. and its subsidiary Danya Cebus Ltd. from the fund. 
Etikkrådet anbefalte i november 2009 å utelukke det israelske selskapet Africa Israel Investments Ltd. og dets datterselskap Danya Cebus Ltd. fra fondet.
The reason was that the companies were involved in the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. 
Bakgrunnen var at selskapene var involvert i bygging av israelske bosettinger på Vestbredden.
The Ministry of Finance followed the recommendation of the Council on Ethics, and decided to exclude the companies in August 2010. 
Finansdepartementet fulgte Etikkrådets anbefaling og besluttet i august 2010 å utelukke selskapene.
Accordingly, the Council on Ethics has recommended that the exclusions be revoked.
