Norway’s wealth fund set to overhaul ethical rules after US scrutiny

3 trillion wealth fund in response to the findings of a state-appointed commission due Thursday, a year after it paused divestments amid US scrutiny.

The idea that these recommendations might no longer be made public has raised concerns among civil society groups, who say that doing so would remove a key source of information for the general public and investors alike.
