Come back in a few hours and there will be a chart here. The axis does not start at zero, or a whole week would be a flat line. Each reading sits at the time NBIM gave for the value. While markets are closed the estimate stands still and nothing is stored, so the line runs straight from Friday evening to Monday. 24 hours, 7 and 30 days are shown hour by hour, longer periods day by day.

That is the market value divided by the population from Statistics Norway (SSB), 5 636 904 people at the end of Q2 2026."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much of the oil fund can be spent each year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Under the fiscal rule, spending of oil money should over time follow the fund's expected real return, estimated at 3 percent. At today's value, 3 percent is about NOK 636.6 billion. The rule guides spending over time and can be departed from in a given year."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the oil fund?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The oil fund's official name is the Government Pension Fund Global. The state puts its income from oil and gas into it, and the money is invested in shares, bonds, real estate and renewable infrastructure outside Norway. It is managed by Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), part of Norway's central bank."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why does the value change all the time?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The fund owns small stakes in thousands of companies worldwide, so its value follows the markets. It is also counted in kroner: when the krone weakens, the foreign investments are worth more kroner even if nothing happened in the markets. Deposits and withdrawals by the state move the value as well."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why does the number stand still at weekends?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"NBIM does not update its estimate while markets are closed, and the time given for the value stands still along with the number. This page stores each reading at NBIM's own time, so a weekend does not turn into 60 identical readings. The line runs straight from Friday's last value to the first one when trading resumes."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where do the numbers come from?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"From the running estimate on the front page of nbim.no. This page fetches it once an hour and stores it, so the history is kept. It is an estimate, not an official valuation. The official figures are in NBIM's quarterly and annual reports."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How far back does the history go?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Recording started 6 November 2026. The last year is kept hour by hour. After a year the hours are folded into one number per day, the last reading of each day, so the history can grow for years."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I use the numbers and the chart?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes.
