Key Features of NOK
The Norwegian Krone is subdivided into 100 øre, which only exists electronically. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 kroner, while banknotes are issued in denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 kroner.
Norwegian krone banknotes and coins feature a variety of designs, including images of historical figures, maritime symbols, and elements of Norwegian folklore and culture.
Expert Opinion
Financial experts regard the Norwegian Krone as a commodity currency, as it's often influenced by changes in oil prices due to Norway's significant oil exports. The NOK is also considered a risk-sensitive currency, which means it can fluctuate based on global economic conditions and investor sentiment.
NOK Regulations
The Norges Bank is responsible for the regulation of the Norwegian Krone. It controls the issuance of new notes and coins, sets monetary policy, and oversees the country's financial system to ensure its stability.
