Financial institutions

Financial institutions comprise commercial and savings banks, finance enterprises and insurance companies. These institutions account for most of the capital and payment transactions in the economy. Norges Bank monitors the financial strength and liquidity of banks in particular, because they are key participants in the payment system. Claims on banks (deposits) are a fundamental part of our financial system. Only banks can accept deposits from the general public.
