Sovereign wealth in the world: an economic fortress or investment adventure?
Nada Ali
Sovereign wealth funds are one of the new economic instruments of the 20th century. The idea of these funds is to invest the surplus of some countries to achieve high financial returns that preserve the value of money over time from erosion due to inflation.
The task of sovereign wealth funds is to have a double purpose. On the one hand, it constitutes a kind of income for the rich countries that support these funds with the necessary funds. On the other hand, the loans granted to the productive projects help the growth of world production. This was happening in the oil sector Previously, but after the drop in oil prices, rich countries in support of these funds began to reduce the funds deposited in them for many reasons, the most important of which is the drop in oil prices.
The rich funds have been a sort of rescue for a number of companies that have been bankrupt and the risk of a standstill. A series of financing deals from cash-rich sovereign wealth funds has provided a lifeline for some of the world's largest private technology companies whose high ratings have been reviewed in the past year.
Oil is the primary source of financial surpluses that are invested in these funds. Therefore, oil countries are the largest contributors to the number and size of SWFs around the world. The various countries are striving to provide their investment incentives in order to attract investments of these funds, which exceed the capital of hundreds of billions of dollars, and therefore eligible for financing development in various developing and emerging countries.
Since the global financial crisis, the $ 6 trillion sovereign wealth fund sector has reduced its provisions for government bonds and increased its exposure to unlisted assets such as direct investment, real estate and infrastructure in pursuit of high returns.
Recently, sovereign wealth funds from oil-rich countries in the Middle East have moved to diversify their investments to include renewable energy, driven by climate change regulations and commitments, but are reluctant to follow Norway in abandoning some oil and gas investments, Oil and gas have been much larger than their investments in renewable energy over the last 10 years.
But direct investment data with sovereign wealth fund contributions suggests that this balance may be changing. In 2018, $ 6.36 billion worth of oil and gas investments went from $ 5.81 billion to renewable energy, one of the narrowest gaps between the two sectors for the last 10 years, according to BeachBook data and research firm. Many of these funds do not disclose that information.
More than a third of these funds are owned by Gulf funds, which have recently moved to increase their domestic investments, and represent the Arab revolutions An additional opportunity for non-risky investments, serving in several areas.
While the latest international reports indicate that the assets of sovereign wealth funds in the world exceed $ 5.2 trillion, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, "ADIA" list of the largest sovereign funds, amounting to $ 627 billion.
The Norwegian government pension fund was second with assets of $ 611 billion, while the Russian Reserve Fund ranked tenth at $ 150 billion. Recent data show that the size of the sovereign funds in the GCC amounts to $ 1.7 trillion, more than a third of the size of global funds, and various studies expect to increase the wealth of funds to about $ 13 trillion until 2020, which means increasing its importance in the global economy and map Investments, and capital movements.
Oil revenues are the main source of funds, the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. In conjunction with the rise in oil prices prior to 2014 and the increase in the imports of crude producing countries, the wealth of these funds has increased. Gulf wealth has become wider and more concentrated. The total assets of the sovereign funds of the Kingdom, the UAE and Kuwait alone Only up to 50% of all sovereign funds worldwide, and foreign cash reserves are also a major source.
Therefore, we see a great demand for these funds by some countries that are keen not to put eggs in one basket and the best example of China, which owns four sovereign funds is the China Investment Corporation and the investment portfolio of the Monetary Fund in Hong Kong and the National Social Security Fund and Saif Investment and America Which owns three investment funds and the UAE, which owns two investment funds and this is an excellent precautionary method because it reduces investment risks and gives greater opportunities to maximize the benefits on the wealth invested. It is also a strategic engine for global impact across global financial conglomerates............................... continues................ link
