Norway's Ministry of Finance announced that supervision of issuers’ ongoing disclosure obligations and the rules on delayed public disclosure of inside information will be moved from Oslo Børs to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) with effect from 1 April 2025. The same date will also see Finanstilsynet take over Oslo Børs’ role as the offer authority. The transfer coincides with the entry into force of a new Financial Supervisory Authority Act. The King in Council has activated the necessary amendments to the Securities Trading Act adopted by the Storting on 17 June 2024, and the Ministry has adopted related amendments to the Securities Trading Regulations, both effective 1 April 2025. Appeals will be handled by the Financial Supervisory Authority Appeals Board, while the Stock Exchange Appeals Board will be discontinued.
