The Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB) has announced that Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) has joined as a Full Member, adding a major asset owner to its member-funded global wholesale markets standards body. NBIM is expected to contribute through FMSB’s Standards Board, committees and working groups, as well as the newly established buy-side forum. The announcement points to FMSB’s 2026 agenda topics including pre-hedging and the application of artificial intelligence in markets. NBIM manages the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global and reported assets of around NOK 20,000 billion (about USD 1,800 billion), invested across international equities and fixed income, real estate and renewable energy infrastructure.
