Source: Wikimedia Commons, Vardion, Rei-artur Bloomberg reports that Norway's $900 billion USD oil wealth fund may not grow this year, as the head of the fund noted that in a low-interest-rate world the fund may not be able to reach a goal of a 4% real annualized return. Also, the amount of money Norway is allocating to the fund has shrunk substantially due low the fall of Brent prices down to ~$66 a barrel while the government is using as much of the fund as it can to support Norway's spending levels [there is a cap on how much of the oil fund can be used]. Back in October, the government planned on using $21.8 billion [roughly 3% of the fund's size] to pad government revenues as oil prices were falling. The Norwegian government plans to release a revised budget on May 12. However, Norway still remains in a relatively good financial position compared to its other oil and natural gas exporting peers.
