Norway is moving closer to deciding whether its $1 trillion wealth fund will dump all its oil and gas stocks.

On Friday, the government will get a report from an expert committee mapping out the case for divesting the fund’s more than $40 billion in petroleum holdings. The administration will then make a recommendation to parliament later this year, based on the expert committee’s report.
