In 2012, prize money was reduced from 10 million crowns to 8 million as the Foundation looked to shore up its finances.
The prize amount was increased to 9 million in 2017 and in 2020 to 10 million - where it was prior to 2012.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is the first of this year's prizes and will be announced on Oct. 2 followed by Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Peace on the following days.
