Sovereign wealth funds have a crucial role in helping countries manage and grow their national wealth. They use surplus revenues from oil, gas, or trade profits to invest in domestic and international sectors. The funds are a great way for nations to reduce financial risks, stabilize their economies, and diversify their investments.
Beyond financial returns, many sovereign wealth funds support long-term development. They do this by funding infrastructure, technology, and clean energy projects both at home and abroad. Some also directly benefit citizens through public services, pension support, or future generations' funds.
