Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs
The Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs (
Ministry of Finance.[1] The committee has 18 members and is chaired by Hans Olav Syversen of the Christian Democratic Party.[2]
Since the economic policy affects the resources available in all other policy areas, the Finance Committee is considered to be a powerful one, and in most cases, all parliamentary parties have at least one member on it. An exception was made in the 2013-2017 Parliament when Rasmus Hansson, the sole representative of the Green Party, asked to be seated on the Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment instead.[3]
