STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – The Norwegian government said on Thursday it has sold its 6.11% stake in Aker Solutions, a supplier of engineering and construction services and technology for the energy sector, for around 963 million crowns ($84.5 million).
“The state has assessed that a sale of our remaining shares now coincides well with the state’s goal with the ownership, which is the highest possible return over time within sustainable limits,” it said in a statement.
