04:50 Gov. pension fund

13:22 Central bank total assets

14:27 % of pension fund


Here I cover the Norwegian central bank's balance sheet. You may be surprised to learn that it's famous, massive "Government Pension Fund Global" sovereign wealth fund is included as part of its total assets (and liabilities). This is quite rare in the world. As well, the size is so massive, 94% of total assets are included in this fund, which absolutely dwarfs the size of Norway's monetary base (the "main thing" that central banks are supposed to be in charge of!).
