Nicolai Tangen received the pint that the central bank governor “owed” him

The beer bill fell on Monday, August 23, the day after Tangen contacted Olsen and told him that it had decided to sell itself entirely by the management company Ako Capital and deposit seven billion crowns in the bank to resolve the employment dispute.

– I’ve been sitting with the key the whole time. When you have thought about something for a long time and you see that the Oil Fund is more important than me. The future of the oil fund is more important than my personal finances, Tangen told DN the next day.

– When will the beer be with the central bank governor?

Nicolai Tangen joined NBIM on September 1.

“I never intended to retire from this job for even a second,” Tangen said.

At the press conference the next day, Tangen was asked if he was a bit angry about all the noise around the job.

– Sinna? No, but I think it’s fair to say Øystein (Olsen, editor’s note) owes me a beer, Tangen replied.

Now you have the beer. The settlement took place at Engebret Café on Tuesday, September 15.

– Yes, Olsen invited me to have a beer that we had after work on Tuesday of last week. I don’t normally drink beer on Tuesdays, but I can assure you we only have one each, Nicolai Tangen writes in an email to DN.

Happy ending

The photo was taken by Tangen’s childhood friend, real estate investor Kurt Mosvold at Engebret Café, which is located right next to Norges Bank.

“Happy ending!” Mosvold writes on Instagram, where he posted the photo on Saturday morning. However, you do not wish to comment on this.

Tangen took over as oil fund manager on September 1.

– I have taken these steps to remove any doubts about which hat I am wearing now. I want to be an oil fund manager and I have only one goal: to create value for future generations, Nicolai Tangen said after he sold Ako Capital.

Tangen also said it would change “the management of its personal fund investments so that all funds are placed as bank deposits.” That’s NOK 5 billion, on top of the two billion you already have in the bank.

– I have asked Øystein if I can put the money in Norges Bank, but I am not allowed, added Tangen jokingly.

Nicolai Tangen claimed he cut “all ties with Ako” when he was introduced as an oil fund manager on March 26. He later criticized himself saying that he should have been more accurate since most people interpreted it as a sale.

– Of course, you should specify exactly what it means, says Tangen.(Terms)Copyright Dagens Næringsliv AS and / or our suppliers.
