Most of the bosses within the 69 state-owned corporations make some huge cash. In latest weeks, it has emerged that some have bonus schemes which might be so beneficiant that they break the federal government’s pointers.
For instance, the boss of Equinor earned greater than NOK twenty million final yr, and the boss of the arms producer Kongsberg obtained a bonus of NOK 2.7 million along with his wage of NOK 6.5 million.
Lengthy-standing FRP chief and present member of the Storting’s Management and Structure Committee, Carl I. Hagen, tells Klassekampen that he thinks each the salaries and the bonuses have change into too excessive.
– Govt salaries in state-owned corporations have run rampant. Now they’re too excessive, as I see it.
Hagen says he has no sense of the argument that wages have to be excessive due to competitors from international corporations.
– There are only a few Norwegian managers who’ve stop to work overseas. Whether or not the competitors from Norwegian personal corporations dictates that wages have to be so excessive is harder to reply, however I do not assume so.
He however provides that personal corporations might be allowed to do precisely what they need.
– If the homeowners of personal corporations wish to spend their cash on excessive salaries, then that’s their selection. That corporations owned by the general public do that’s one thing else fully, says Hagen.
