Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund May Re-enter Defense Sector Amid US Pressure

Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund May Re-enter Defense Sector Amid US Pressure

Norway's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund may resume investments in major defense contractors, including those producing nuclear weapons, following recommendations from an ethics review committee. The committee, led by Svein Gjedrem, suggests easing restrictions that led to divestments from Israeli banks and Caterpillar. These changes, prompted partly by U.S. pressure, aim to avoid perceived political stances in investment decisions. The Norwegian government will consult the public before a parliamentary vote in mid-2027.

Businessman Assaf Rappaport and his Wiz co-founders are nearing a deal to acquire the franchise for McDonald's Israel, managing around 230 branches with 1.8 billion shekels in annual revenue. This follows McDonald's global repurchase of the Israeli operations in April 2024 amid boycotts.
