Fondul suveran al Norvegiei, în valoare 2,3 trilioane dolari, ar putea începe să finanțeze industria occidentală de apărare

A Norwegian government commission has recommended allowing the country's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund to invest in major Western defense companies currently excluded due to nuclear weapon production involvement. This proposal has faced criticism from civil society organizations, which argue it undermines ethical investment rules and sets a concerning precedent. If approved, the changes could lead to significant investments in arms manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing. The commission suggests exceptions for companies based in recognized nuclear powers allied with Norway under NATO. The finance minister has called for a reevaluation of ethical rules in light of global security changes, while the commission's recommendations may limit the power of the fund's Ethics Council.
