In plain English
Norway's central bank, which sets rates for the krone and runs the country's giant oil fund.
Norges Bank is Norway's central bank. It sets the policy rate that steers the Norwegian krone and aims to keep inflation low and stable.
It has a second, unusual job: managing Norway's sovereign wealth fund, built from oil and gas revenue and one of the largest investment funds on the planet. That makes Norges Bank one of the biggest shareholders in companies around the world.
