SDG Deal Count & Value by Target Region
In the current global landscape, marked by a range of pressing challenges, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are gradually emerging as potential catalysts in promoting sustainable development.
While traditionally conservative, emphasizing financial stability and risk aversion, SWFs are beginning to pivot.
SWFs are increasingly directing their investments toward sectors pivotal for sustainable development, with healthcare and renewable energy at the forefront.
Diving deeper, the MEASA-based SWFs, particularly those from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, dominate in terms of both the volume and value of SDG investments.
Their investments are not only substantial in their home region but also extend significantly to North America and beyond, underlining their global influence.
