Norway’s wealth fund loses 14pc as inflation, war hit markets
Norway’s $US1.3 trillion ($1.8 trillion) sovereign wealth fund reported its biggest loss since the 2008 financial crisis after markets were pummelled by faster inflation, higher credit costs and the fallout from the war in Ukraine.
The fund that manages Norway’s fossil wealth lost 14.1 per cent in 2022, equivalent to about $US164 billion, according to a statement. It’s the world’s biggest single owner of equities, and its returns are highly dependent on market movements.
