This was annouinced by the head of the Oil Fund, Yngve Slyngstad, to NRK.

– 350,000 NOK in return per capita. This is by far the best year in the fund’s history, says Slyngstad.

On October 25 this year, the oil fund passed NOK 10,000 billion. This happened on the day 50 years after the Ekofisk discovery, which was the start of the Norwegian oil adventure.
