DNB CEO Kjerstin Braathen is Norway’s most powerful business woman, according to Kapital. No wonder, as the bank she heads is by far the largest we have. If there is anyone who feels the status of the Norwegian economy on the pulse, it is DNB. At Stavrum & Eikeland, she brings a happy message.
– It will certainly go well for the vast majority of people in Norway in 2023, says Braathen.
Housing rent will still rise a little at the start, but how much and when it will change, you can hear Braathen tell in the Stavrum & Eikeland podcast.
So far, Vipps has been a success, but few would disagree that it is the most expensive invention that has happened to Norwegian families with children in recent times. At Stavrum & Eikeland, Braathen reveals what hysterical nicknames some have given the popular service.
See here which nickname:

Learned the language of football
Braathen worked for 13 years in DNB’s shipping and offshore department. In order for her to blend into the male-dominated shipping environment, she had to read up on teams and players, despite the fact that she strongly disliked football. How it is possible not to like football, when you grow up almost next to the Åråsen stadium in Lillestrøm in Tom Lund’s glory days, remains a mystery to most. This despite the fact that she went to class with the daughter of, precisely, Tom Lund.

A number of Norwegian billionaires have fled Norway this autumn, values worth over NOK 400 billion are gone. Now the DNB boss is shouting a warning.
– Norway is a country that has little private capital and is actually much more dependent on the international capital markets than some of the countries around us, says Braathen.

At Stavrum & Eikeland, it is also discussed whether the housing interest rate will exceed five per cent, the Financial Supervisory Authority’s interference in Norwegian banks’ operations, the debt gallop of most Norwegians and, not least, whether DNB is taking enough risk when they have so little loss on lending to the business sector.
