Editorial: What next?
In other words: if we are to be able to compare the rate of return of the petroleum fund with other investors' results, we have to play by the same rules. And these rules are no rules! In so far as we consider ourselves a part of "the general public", we would want Storvik not to push us in front of him in his attempt to weaken government policy. We are considerably more interested in the ethical aspect of the investments than the financial aspect. If Storvik is not, he might still have to realize that money isn't everything. Is that asking too much of a central bank governor?
