What happened
A commission established by the Norwegian government reviewed the fund's ethical guidelines, which previously excluded 14 companies that develop or make nuclear weapons. The commission recommended that the fund could invest in nuclear arms makers only if they are based in a nuclear-weapon state allied with Norway. This change means several British, French, and American arms manufacturers may be brought back into the fund.

Why it matters
The review addresses the paradox that the fund cannot invest in companies crucial for Norway's security. The revised guidelines affect investment access for defense contractors, particularly those involved in nuclear arms manufacturing.
