Global lessons from Norway for managing energy-based economies<\/a>,\u201d which\u00a0makes the case that Canada should invest 100 per cent of its natural resource revenue into a type of Norwegian sovereign wealth fund\u00a0\u2013 a set of government-owned and managed investments sourced through resource-related taxes and royalties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a country, we have been poor fiscal stewards of our natural resource wealth\u201d, Poelzer says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Canada is to build stable, powerful and sustainable economies, and to secure our place as an energy and natural resource power globally, the federal government, the provinces and territories need to commit to building SWFs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Poelzer, 25 years ago, Norway created a sovereign wealth fund to capture its oil revenues and remove them from general government revenues, taking\u00a0away the temptation for free-spending politicians to use an ephemeral benefit \u2013 revenue from natural resources \u2013 to plug holes in government budgets brought on by swings in the economy or over-spending.<\/p>\n<p>Poelzer contrasts Norway with Alberta, which established a fund in the 1970s but declined to pay into it with the same zeal. The amount of contributions declined over time and were eventually stopped altogether in 1987.\u00a0Norway\u2019s fund is now worth $US890 billion, while Alberta\u2019s is worth only about $17 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorway shows that governments blessed with petroleum resources can build modern, stable, and prosperous economies on the bedrock of oil and gas\u201d, says\u00a0Poelzer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-952\" style=\"width: 244px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Max-fawcett.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-952\" src=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Max-fawcett-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Norwegian sovereign wealth fund\" width=\"244\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Max Fawcett, editor of Alberta Oil Magazine. Photo: Max Fawcett.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Max Fawcett is the editor of Alberta Oil Magazine. He says\u00a0comparing Canada to Norway is a nonstarter given the level of taxation in\u00a0the two jurisdictions. For instance, the Norwegian Value Added Tax is 25 per cent, with the exception of groceries, which is 15 per cent. Income tax rates are over 50 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorwegians are comfortable with substantially higher income taxes and substantially higher consumption taxes than Canadians would ever be,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cAnd certainly than Albertans would ever be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Comparing Norway to Alberta is not fair to to the Canadian province\u00a0because the Scandinavian country\u00a0has all the fiscal tools and capacity that a nation state enjoys, but Alberta is a sub-national government, a sort of a middle man in Canadian confederation, argues Fawcett.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cLike most provinces, Alberta receives a lot of money from the federal government, but it is then obligated to pass almost all that money along to the municipalities,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-953\" style=\"width: 211px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jim-Prentice.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-953 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jim-Prentice-211x300.png\" alt=\"Norwegian sovereign wealth fund\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alberta Premier Jim Prentice, responsible for managing provincial finances. Photo: Handout.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another important issue is that the Alberta political culture precludes using even the few fiscal tools at the province\u2019s disposal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAlberta\u00a0doesn\u2019t want to have a sales tax. It doesn\u2019t want to have a progressive income tax,\u201d said Fawcett. \u201cI<\/span>t\u2019s not that the conversation couldn\u2019t happen, it\u2019s just that it would be a very long distance to get from where we are in Alberta today to where Norway is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The better model for Alberta is the Alaska Permanent Fund, contends Fawcett, which was established in 1976 to invest 25 per cent of oil revenue for future generations. As of 2012, the Fund stood at $42 billion. Part of the Fund\u2019s earnings are paid out as dividends to Alaskans. In 2014, the dividend was $1,884, though in other years it has been much less.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the Fund\u2019s earnings are earmarked for government operating expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The Fund provides Alaska with a buffer when oil royalty revenue drops, as it did in late 2014. And it keeps Alaska from having to dramatically slash spending every three or four years when the inevitable oil or gas price decline arrives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWatching what\u2019s going on right now [in Alberta] it\u2019s kind of embarrassing because it\u2019s no way to run a government,\u201d says Fawcett. \u201cWhere you\u2019re constantly going from the penthouse to the outhouse and back again. You can\u2019t make long term plans. You can\u2019t make long term investments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As attractive as\u00a0Poelzer\u2019s sovereign wealth fund may appear to some, the provinces will never cede constitutional authority over resource revenue to Ottawa, says Fawcett. The Alaska Permanent Fund is the better option for Alberta and is something for which most of the infrastructure is already in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now all Alberta politicians need is the will to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/markham\/is-the-norwegian-sovereign-wealth-fund-model-right-for-alberta\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Is the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund model right for Alberta?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/beaconenergynews.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Beacon Energy News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Greg&nbsp;Poelzer argues for Norwegian sovereign wealth fund for Canada, Max Fawcett says model&nbsp;won&rsquo;t work Should Canada and Alberta have Norwegian sovereign wealth fund style investments?
