Norway adopts new EU capital requirements rules for investment firms
The Ministry of Finance proposes amendments to securities trading legislation and other financial laws to implement EEA rules aligned with EU directives on investment firm oversight (IFD/IFR). The new rules would set capital and liquidity requirements tailored to investment firms' operations, replacing the current banking regulations they must follow. The Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs recommends that the Storting adopt the proposal, though members from the Socialist Left Party and Red Party dissent, calling for stricter national bonus caps.
