Tapping the fund to cover budget needs comes at a time when the managers of the fund, set up to safeguard the wealth of future generations, warn that it also faces diminished returns amid record-low interest rates.

It’s lowering the corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 27 percent and aims to cut it to 22 percent by 2018.”
