Annual Report 2019 Annual Report 2019 KLP KLP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 REPORT ANNUAL KLP KLP – the pension company for the Norwegian local government and healthcare sector Kommunal Landspensjonskasse (KLP) is an unusual finance company, because we are owned by our customers. This means that all wealth creation in KLP benefits the customers. KLP started out as a partnership of small municipalities across the country to provide good pensions in a strong community. Today, KLP is the preferred pension provider for the Norwegian local government and healthcare sectors, one of Norway's largest finance companies and a mainstay of the Norwegian welfare system, with 459,000 members, 310,000 pensioners and 240,000 former members with pension rights. As a customer-owned company, our main task is to deliver our pension services to the best possible quality and at the lowest possible cost and to obtain the best possible return on the pension money that we manage. KLP is a profitable community When KLP makes a profit, we either use it to boost our financial strength, or we give it to our owners. In both cases, the result is that they have to pay less for their pensions. We have the lowest possible costs, so they get as much as possible for schools and nursing homes or other priority tasks that our owners are responsible for. The way in which KLP runs its business therefore has a direct impact on how our owners discharge their social obligations. In 2019 KLP delivered a historically good result, allowing it to return NOK 2,8 billion to the municipalities, county authorities, health enterprises and companies that are our owners. The result also enabled us to further strengthen supplementary reserves with NOK 8 billion, as a buffer if future results should be weak. In addition, owners’ equity was strengthened by NOK 2.3 billion. Providing sustainable pensions Our most important social responsibility is to provide employees in the Norwegian local government and healthcare sectors with the pensions they are entitled to. We use the influence that comes from the NOK 700 billion that we manage to call for faster progress towards a sustainable society. We do this by integrating corporate responsibility into all our activities, increasing investments that promote sustainable development, pushing companies towards more sustainable operations and developing products and services that contribute to positive social development. Our work is based on international standards, and at KLP we use the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a framework for our work on corporate responsibility. We are open about how we work and invest, because responsible business practice is the key to sustainable development. The aim is to make a difference. This means that as well as safe- guarding the pension money for the future, we do so in a way that creates a secure future — for people living now and the coming generations.

  • Indigenism and Cosmopolitanism
    INDIGENISM AND COSMOPOLITANISM A pan- Sami view of the Indigenous perspective in Sami culture and research Harald Gaski* Abstract This article explores Sami cultural and literary research in a pan- Sami perspective, contextual- izing it in relation to the emergence of similar research among other Indigenous peoples in the world, termed Indigenous methodology. The article summarizes the development within the fi eld so far, arguing for stronger Sami participation in the international discourse on the role of Indigenous peoples within academia. Indigenous methodology is inspired by the development within postcolonial and decolonizing studies and places Indigenous peoples at the centre, while simultaneously seeking to Indigenize academia. The approach questions which values ought to guide research, and to what degree Indigenous peoples should expect research to have a trans- formative effect on society. What is the role and place of Indigenous peoples’ own values and worldviews in scholarship in general? The article underscores the importance of having developed Sami as an academic language, a great achievement in a world where more and more Indigenous languages are becoming extinct. Keywords Indigenous peoples, Sami and Indigenous research, Indigenous methodology, Indigenism, Sami literature * Faculty for Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education, University of Tromsø, Norway.

  • 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.

  • A World Heritage Site As Arena for Sami Ethno-Politics in Sweden
    Managing Laponia ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Uppsala Studies in Cultural Anthropology no 47 Carina Green Managing Laponia A World Heritage as arena for Sami ethno-politics in Sweden Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Geijersalen, Thun- bergsväg 3H, Uppsala, Friday, December 18, 2009 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Green, C. 2009. Manging Laponia. A World Heritage Site as Arena for Sami Ethno-Politics in Sweden. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in Cultural Anthropology 47. 221 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-7656-4. This study deals with the implications of implementing the World Heritage site of Laponia in northern Sweden. Laponia, consisting of previously well-known national parks such as Stora Sjöfallet and Sarek, obtained its World Heritage status in 1996. Both the biological and geological significance of the area and the local Sami reindeer herding culture are in- cluded in the justification for World Heritage status. This thesis explores how Laponia became an arena for the long-standing Sami ethno-political struggle for increased self- governance and autonomy. In many other parts of the world, various joint management schemes between indigenous groups and national environmental protection agencies are more and more common, but in Sweden no such agreements between the Swedish Envi- ronmental Protection Agency and the Sami community have been tested. The local Sami demanded to have a significant influence, not to say control, over the future management of Laponia. These were demands that were not initially acknowledged by the local and national authorities, and the negotiations about the management of Laponia continued over a period of ten years.

  • 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.
