Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are increasingly steering their investments towards critical sectors for sustainable development, with healthcare and renewable energy taking the lead.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare sector witnessed a remarkable surge in SWF investments, accounting for an impressive 42.3% of SWF's SDG-aligned deals, totaling a substantial USD $12.8 billion. Notable investments by entities like Temasek in BioNTech, GIC in Medline Industries, and Mubadala Investment Company in Envirotainer showcase SWFs' rapid response to global health crises.
