The central bank of Norway has become one of the largest shareholders in fast fashion giant Boohoo.

The move has been confirmed in documents filed with the London Stock Exchange.

Norges Bank’s new holding in the company makes it one of the largest single shareholders in Boohoo, ahead of the likes of Franklin Templeton Institutional and Artisan Partners.

Norges Bank is now the fifth largest institutional investor in Boohoo.
