About this episode
Norway is on its way to becoming one of the richest countries in the world, thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves. The country has been smart about managing its wealth by investing profits from oil into a huge savings fund, known as the Government Pension Fund Global, which is now worth over a trillion dollars. Norway also has a strong welfare system, providing free healthcare and education to its citizens. Even though the country is rich in resources, it’s also a leader in renewable energy, working toward a greener future. The state encourages innovation, creating new jobs in tech and sustainable industries.
