Hermod Skånland

Hermod Skånland (15 June 1925 – 16 April 2011) was a Norwegian economist and civil servant, who served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Norway from 1985 to 1993.

He started working as a researcher in Statistics Norway, but already after one year he was hired in the Ministry of Finance as a consultant.

Historian Einar Lie has noted that this shuffle "gave room for Hermod Skånland, the 'wonderboy' of the economists".

In 1983, as Deputy Governor, Skånland led the selection committee Tempoutvalget which conducted a public inquiry for the Ministry of Energy titled "The future of the petroleum industry".

Skånland died at Fagertun nursing home in Gran, at the age of 85.
