  • Three Episodes of Financial Fragility in Norway Since the 1890S by Karsten R Gerdrup*
    BIS Working Papers No 142 Three episodes of financial fragility in Norway since the 1890s by Karsten R Gerdrup* Monetary and Economic Department October 2003 * Central Bank of Norway (Norges Bank) BIS Working Papers are written by members of the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements, and from time to time by other economists, and are published by the Bank. The views expressed in them are those of their authors and not necessarily the views of the BIS.

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract This paper provides for the first time a comparative study of three major banking crises in Norway (1899-1905, 1920-28 and 1988-92), and presents financial and macroeconomic data spanning more than 130 years. Financial sector development appears to be closely linked to booms and busts in economic activity during these years. The boom periods that preceded each of the three crises all have some common features: they were characterised by significant bank expansion, considerable asset price inflation and increased indebtedness. The non-financial sector increased its debt only slightly more than its income during the first two boom periods, but subsequent deflation increased its debt burden.

The main topics addressed in the report are ethics, responsible products and investments, human resources policy, requirements with respect to our suppliers, corporate governance and cooperation with organisations, authorities, cultural institutions and sports associations. DnB NOR’s financial results are described in the Group’s financial annual report. The report applies to the financial year 2006 and is DnB NOR’s second separate report on corporate social responsibility. As a rule, stated key figures apply as at 31 December of the relevant year. In addition, the report presents a number of targets and measures for corporate social responsibility and thus also serves as an action plan for 2007. The report encompasses the entire DnB NOR Group, including subsidiaries and brands such as Vital, Postbanken, Nordlandsbanken, Cresco etc. DnB NORD (established in cooperation with NORD/LB in 2005) and DnB NOR Monchebank in north-west Russia (acquired in 2006) are included where possible. Nevertheless, in a number of areas, DnB NORD and DnB NOR Monchebank are excluded due to lack of available data. The report is based on the internationally recognised reporting standard Global Reporting Ini- tiative (GRI).

The Board of Directors has proposed an ordinary dividend of NOK 1.35 per share plus a supplementary dividend of NOK 0.40 per share, totalling NOK 1.75 per share. At the end of 1997, the DnB Group had nearly NOK 300 billion in funds under management. Growth in lending in most areas of activity offset the decline in interest margins.

The subsidiary Vital Forsikring Holding contributed NOK 192 million to group profits, NOK 136 million more than in 1996.

  • Bergen Bank, DNC Og Kreditkassen
    BERGEN BANK – MANGE BEKKER SMÅ GJØR EN STOR Å Av Svein Røer og Leif Bjornes Ovennevnte tittel er hentet fra 150 års jubileet til Bergen Bank i 1980, og gir et meget godt bilde på hvordan en storbank blir til. Historien frem til Bergen Banks etablering ved fusjon mellom de to store Bergensbankene Bergens Privatbank og Bergens Kreditbank i 1975 har omfattet mange fusjoner og oppkjøp av mindre forretnings- og privatbanker. Bergens Privatbank startet i 1855 og var en ren Bergens-bank frem til 1912, da den etablerte egen filial i Odda. Neste skritt tok Bergens Privatbank over til Østlandet ved fusjonen med Revisjonsbanken som hadde kontorer i Oslo, Sandvika, Lillestrøm og Sørumsand. Deretter følger mange fusjoner i årene frem til 1975. Bergens Kreditbank var opprinnelig Kreditkassens filial i Bergen frem til 1876. Dette året ble banken etablert og overtok filialen til Kreditkassen i Bergen. Mellomakten med Andresens Bank som ”Foreningsbanken” fra 1919 til 1928 var ikke vellykket og begge banker oppstod som selvstendige enheter igjen i 1928. Oversikten må ut fra dette deles i tre - røtter, Bergens Privatbanks, Bergens Kreditbanks og Kristiania Industri og Handelsbank, 1917. Overtatt av Bergens Bergen Banks. Kreditbank i 1948. (Årstall i parentes er bankens stiftelses år og i tillegg er tatt med banker som er gått konkurs, eller hvor den nye banken er oppstått fra og eventuelle navneskifter) BERGENS PRIVATBANKS RØTTER 1855 Bergens Privatbank 1919 Revisjonsbanken (1913) 1920 Hegdehaugens Sparebank (1882) - Christiania Vestre Arbeidersamfunds Sparekasse
