Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Sovereign Wealth Funds: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank Mr. Gjedrem for the presentation. It sounds really interesting. I had a couple of points to ask about but he has half answered some of them.

For example, any petroleum taxes collected by the State seem to go...
