Folketrygdfondet (the National Insurance Scheme Fund) is established to manage the surpluses in the National Insurance Scheme.

The surpluses in the National Insurance Scheme turn to deficits, and 1979 is the final year with a transfer from the National Insurance Scheme to Folketrygdfondet.

The management of Folketrygdfondet was initially divided into five regions with separate boards. In 1990 the regional boards were wound up, and Folketrygdfondet was organised directly under the Ministry of Finance.

The Government Pension Fund is established as a superstructure encompassing the Government Pension Fund Global (the "Oil Fund") and the Government Pension Fund Norway. The name Folketrygdfondet from now on refers to the organisation managing the Government Pension Fund Norway.
