The current global economic downturn is the deepest in the post-war period. The turnaround was abrupt and pronounced, and is having a negative impact on markets for most goods and services. The turnaround in Norway had already occurred just over a year ago, but in the period to autumn last year, it appeared that capacity utilization in the Norwegian economy would gradually decrease to a normal level. Norges Bank reduced the key policy rate by 0.5 percentage point on both October 15 and October 29, by 1.75 percentage points on December 17 and by a further 0.5 percentage point to 2.5% on February 4. Norges Bank has also stepped up its supply of liquidity to banks in the form of short-term and long-term loans. The operational target of monetary policy in Norway is low and stable inflation ...

Money market rate premiums have been high and volatile. The difference between money market rates and central bank key rates has been the widest since the international financial turbulence started in August last year. Norwegian money market rates increased sharply after international risk premiums spilled over into the Norwegian market. Foreign exchange markets have also been volatile. Investors have shown interest in the large and most liquid currencies. Growth is also slowing in the Norwegian economy. Household consumption has stagnated and house prices are falling. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual consumer price inflation of close to 2.5% over time. In recent years, inflation has on average been somewhat lower, but fairly close to 2.5%. A deep and protracted glob...

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...
