  "account": "The Norwegian central bank will be selling kroner in September, according to a statement from the bank. In total, Norges Bank will be buying foreign currency worth 176 million kroner in September, following a shift from buying kroner totaling 474 million kroner in August. These transactions involve exchange rates, as Norway earns revenues in both kroner and other currencies. A portion of these funds are used every year to cover a planned budget surplus in kroner. The remaining amount is kept in foreign currency within the Oil Fund. The valuations transactions are distinct from interventions, which involve the central bank selling or buying kroner with the aim of influencing the krone exchange rate. In September, the bank will sell 300 million kroner daily on behalf of the state, related to the state budget. Simultaneously, the bank will purchase kroner worth 124 million kroner, just as the previous month. Norges Bank has decided to transfer 30 billion kroner to the state as interest and dividends in 2026, based on the results for 2025.",
