Article name[edit]

The lemma should be changed to Petroleum Fund of Norway or Norwegian Petroleum Fund, in my view. Likedeeler 15:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page looks a bit politicaly biased. "Whether the country should use more of the current oil revenues to solve current problems instead of putting aside the wealth and essentially gambling it by investing in financial instruments through The Petroleum Fund: the main matter of debate is usually whether this could drive inflation out of control. The change of name of the fund from "Petroleum Fund" to "Pension Fund" was for pedagogical reasons. There is no change in the management of the fund." This is not a serious aproche to decribing the issue.

Wrong numbers?[edit]

Hi, I think the numbers re size are wrong. AFAICS, the source gives numbers in billion, not trillion dollars, and this tallies with official numbers released by the national bank/government. I.e., the numbers are one order of magnitude too high. 800-something billion dollars/ 7400- something milliarder NOK, as of october 2015.

I think the numbers for NOK to USD are incorrect as well, as it says "NOK 6 trillion ($1 trillion) by the end of 2019" and "the value of the fund was NOK 7.0 trillion ($873 billion)". These numbers can't all be correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.240.100 (talk) 06:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

date[edit]

The article should say when the pension fund was created. I cannot found it!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.229.174.78 (talk) 16:18, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proceeds[edit]

The article states that the surplus is invested, but doesn't seem to say to what end (or at least is it not obvious if it does). What happens to the interest earned from the investments? Do they spend it? Or is it reinvested? In which case what is the point? Jayarava (talk) 22:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the government made its first withdrawal in 2016,[1] and can withdraw up to 3% of the fund's value each year.[2] Firebrace (talk) 01:04, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
