The Loan Fund is a state agency that allocates loans and grants to Norwegian and some international students.
As of November, the interest rate will be the lowest in the history of the Loan Fund.
The new floating interest rate of the Treasury will be 1.391% as of November 1.
Today, 645,000 clients of the Loan Fund have a floating interest rate, while 43,000 clients have a fixed interest rate.
