About this bill
Standing Committee on Finance debates expanding stock savings accounts
MPs Nikolai Astrup and Kari Sofie Bjørnsen proposed allowing shares listed on markets for small and mid-sized companies to be held in stock savings accounts. The committee is divided: a majority from the Progress Party, Conservative Party, Centre Party, Christian Democratic Party, and Liberal Party want the government to send the proposal for public consultation in the first half of 2026, with a view to implementation on 1 January 2027. The Labour Party and Green Party call for longer to study the proposal and want to include investor protection and sustainability concerns.
