The Norwegian economy is booming. COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and we are heading out of the pandemic. Economic growth is strong, unemployment is low. A shortage of labor is leading to mounting pressure. At the same time, the war in Ukraine increases uncertainty in the global economy. The war has already led to higher commodity prices. In particular, prices on electricity, gas and fuel have soared throughout Europe.
Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, and our First Lady and Second Gentleman, members of Congress and the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, my fellow Americans: Last year, COVID-19 kept us apart. This year, we’re finally together again.
Tonight — tonight we meet as Democrats, Republicans, and independents, but, most importantly, as Americans with a duty to one another, to America, to the American people, and to the Constitution, and an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, female leaders in AmCham Member companies representing diverse industries answer the question:
“Take a lesson from the energy industry, where HSE culture has been transformed to be the responsibility of all employees, not only those working in ‘infield’ positions. Taking a similar approach for building a more equal culture can help unleash the talent we need to tackle the energy challenges of today.”
“I try to be a good role model, especially for my female employees, as this hopefully will be an example that they can relate to when they consider to take the lead. Furthermore, in our company we are careful to recruit both men and women in order to secure a balanced talent “pool” of future leaders.”
“As leaders we have to understand and address both unconscious and hidden biases in the workplace. Unconscious bias in this case refers to our personal prejudices where hidden bias are the systemic problems within our policies and processes. We need to eliminate both to truly facilitate female participation.”
“By creating inclusive and inspiring work environments that foster enthusiasm and growth. You need to start today to prepare for tomorrow, so today’s leaders need to offer the possibilities to show initiative and take responsibility.”
“Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want is the best advice I have received. It is particularly important for leaders to encourage their female employees to take initiative in their careers. Use your voice and speak up, leaders always appreciate initiative!”
