reserveutløsningen

Reserveutløsningen, also known as the Reserve Release, is a significant economic policy implemented in Norway in the 1980s. The policy was designed to address the country's high public debt and to stabilize the economy. The Reserve Release involved the Norwegian government selling a significant portion of its government bonds to the private sector. This action effectively transferred the debt from the public sector to the private sector, reducing the government's debt burden and increasing the private sector's debt.

The Reserve Release was a controversial policy, with proponents arguing that it would reduce the government's debt burden and stabilize the economy, while opponents argued that it would increase the private sector's debt burden and lead to higher interest rates. The policy was implemented in several phases, with the first phase occurring in 1982 and the final phase occurring in 1987. The Reserve Release was a significant event in Norwegian economic history, and its legacy continues to be debated today.
