Five properties in Oslo owned by Russians have been seized and could be forcibly sold if Russia fails to meet payment obligations, with demands reportedly reaching 40 billion kroner. This development marks a significant action regarding Russian assets in the capital.
In economic news, DNB experienced a stock price increase on the Oslo Stock Exchange despite reporting a fall in earnings, still achieving 12.5 billion kroner in pre-tax profit. Meanwhile, energy giant Equinor anticipates its strongest financial performance since 2022, while a Norwegian property developer has been declared bankrupt. The government is also implementing stricter regulations in northern Norway, particularly concerning the tourism industry.
Other domestic stories include a multi-car accident on the E6 near Rygge, ongoing concerns about the Oslo Fjord's condition, and reports of undrinkable water in some areas. A unique report highlighted that nearly all obituaries are written by men, with former Prime Minister Erna Solberg being a notable exception. Separately, an ALS patient's journey to find help and a commentary on the education system were also published.
