Business Insider reports Norwegian deputy central bank governor Jon Nicolaisen resigned on Friday. Nicolaisen was in charge of Norway's $1.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the biggest in the world. He stepped down after Norway's security service rejected his security clearance because his wife is Chinese and lives in China.
