Norges Bank

Established by an Act of Norway’s parliament in 1816, Norges Bank is Norway’s central bank. It conducts monetary policy, promotes financial stability, manages foreign exchange reserves and oversees key payment-system responsibilities.

Norges Bank also manages the Government Pension Fund Global through Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM). The fund was created in 1990 and received its first capital in 1996; it invests internationally across equities, fixed income, real estate and renewable infrastructure.

For students, the firm is particularly notable for its combination of macroeconomics, large-scale portfolio management, quantitative and technology roles, and institutional stewardship. NBIM’s work includes voting and company engagement alongside managing a highly diversified global portfolio.
