    Annual Report 2018 “EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO to MAKE LIFE in WESTERN NORWAY EVEN BETTER!”

    Annual Report 2018 “EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO TO MAKE LIFE IN WESTERN NORWAY EVEN BETTER!” When Sparebanken Vest was founded almost 200 years ago, it heralded a new way of thinking about banking. The bank was to be owned by its customers, and its objective was to help the many poor in society. The idea that challenges are best solved together was what made us, and it is still what drives us. Today, we have more than 290,000 owners, and everything we do, we do to make life in Western Norway even better. We aim to make life even better for those growing up and settling down. For those who need to break with tradition and go their own ways. For those who have a dream they want to pursue. For everyone who works hard and for business owners who create jobs in Western Norway. We will achieve this by caring about our customers, helping people where they are, being simple to bank with and by providing important advice along the way. This sense of community gives us a unique strength to deal with major challenges. Challenges that concern us all and that are decisive for our future. We can do it better together. Most of the photos used in the annual report are from the ‘Family Bank’. Sparebanken Vest follows customers through all the important phases of life and big and small events – in short, a friend through thick and thin. Photo: Anne Lise Nordheim. Sparebanken Vest strives for an active and future-oriented focus on the environment, both internally and externally.

The others are published by the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), the Norwegian Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM). The PST’s primary responsibility is to prevent and investigate crimes against national security. The PST’s annual threat assessment discusses situations, usually in Norway, that could affect Norwegian security and damage national interests in the coming year. These include threats from state actors in the form of foreign intelligence services, their current intelligence targets and the services’ operational patterns in Norway. The assessments also deal with threats from non-state actors, especially threats of politically motivated violence by extremist groups or individuals. The assessments have a time horizon of one year and are published in the first quarter. The NIS’s primary task is to warn of external threats and support the development of Norwegian security, foreign and defence policy. The service publishes an annual assessment of the international situation and foreign threats of significance to Norway and Norwegian interests.
