Stoltenberg to become Norway's next central bank governor
By JAN M. OLSEN | February 4, 2022
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will become Norway’s next central bank governor, officials said Friday.
Stoltenberg's tenure at NATO ends later this year. Norway's government announced his appointment at the central bank in a statement and said it hopes he can start in his new role around Dec. 1.
"I am grateful for the trust and am looking forward to taking on the job," Stoltenberg told a news conference, which he attended by videoconference from Brussels where the 30-member military alliance is headquartered. He was informed Friday that he got the job.
The current governor of Norges Bank, 70-year-old Øystein Olsen, is retiring this year after holding the position since Jan. 1, 2011, for two terms.
Stoltenberg, 62, was Norway's finance minister from 1996 to 2000, and prime minister from 2000 to 2001 and again from 2005 until 2013. He had previously said if he got the central bank governor position, he wouldn’t be able to start before leaving his NATO job on Oct. 1.
He became NATO secretary-general in 2014. After a successful first term, his mandate at the trans-Atlantic alliance was extended.
Stoltenberg has been praised for steering NATO through a difficult period under the Trump administration, when the U.S. threatened not to come to the aid of member countries that weren't spending enough on defense.
The appointment comes at the same time as NATO plays a key role in the crisis between Russia and the West.
"Mr. Stoltenberg has made clear that until that time, his focus remains firmly on his NATO responsibilities," a NATO official said in a statement.
Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum said he wanted to find "the best central bank governor for Norway, and I am confident that it is Jens Stoltenberg."
"The combination of financial background, understanding of society and a management experience few in Norway have, makes him very suitable as top manager of Norges Bank," he said in a statement.

If the central bankers default France and Germany will be razed to the ground. The only way to avoid this we're told, is for Klaus Schwab to build back better with the central bankers' "Great Reset" - and get your Covid vaccine:
Why France's 'unsustainable' pension system may well be sustainable
Germany's $400 Billion Pension Fund Eyes Capital Markets Boost
Germany's $400 Billion Pension Fund Eyes Capital Markets Boost
The central bankers continue cranking out billions to head this off:
This is the kind of shit we are all forced to deal with everyday in society that can be directly correlated back to this central banking warfare model on civilization. That is ultimately what perpetuates and drives society.
And just in case anyone forgot about central banking control over a cashless society:
