Norway’s Oil Fund (Government Pension Fund Global)

Norway’s Oil Fund – officially called the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG) – is the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, with assets of more than NOK 15 trillion. Built from Norway’s oil and gas revenues, the fund invests globally in equities, bonds, real estate, and renewable infrastructure.

The Oil Fund is more than a financial investor. It represents Norway’s values of transparency, sustainability, and long-term responsibility. Every investment is guided by strict ESG standards, designed to ensure responsible growth for both Norway and its partners abroad.

At Qasim Consult Corporation, we help organizations and governments understand how the Oil Fund operates and identify ways to attract Norwegian capital. By aligning projects with the fund’s investment principles – sustainability, governance, and profitability – we create strategies that can open the door to long-term Norwegian investment.

For international partners, connecting with the Oil Fund is not just about money. It is about building trust with one of the world’s most respected investors, and showcasing projects that meet global standards for ethics, transparency, and impact.
