About Norwegian Krone (kr)
The Norwegian Krone (NOK, ISO 4217 code 578, symbol kr) is the official currency of Norway, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, and Bouvet Island, issued by Norges Bank (est. 1816). Subdivided into 100 øre (no longer in physical circulation since 2012). Banknotes: 50 kr, 100 kr, 200 kr, 500 kr, 1000 kr (a current series featuring marine themes — lighthouses, ships, fish, the Gulf Stream — by Norwegian artist Snøhetta + Metric Design); coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 20 kr. NOK is a 'commodity currency' heavily correlated with North Sea Brent crude oil prices — Norway is Western Europe's largest oil + gas producer (~2 million bpd oil, ~120 bcm/yr natural gas). Norway also holds the world's largest sovereign wealth fund — the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG, often called 'Oil Fund') manages ~$1.6 trillion AUM as of 2024, owning ~1.5% of every public company globally. Norges Bank targets 2% CPI inflation. Norway is in EEA but not EU and has its own currency.
