According to the latest Global SWF ranking, sovereign wealth funds in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are cementing their position as major players in global finance. Collectively, the three largest GCC funds now manage assets worth more than $5 trillion, a figure that underscores their growing economic influence. Projections suggest this number could rise above $7 trillion by 2030, reflecting both continued oil revenues and diversification strategies into technology, infrastructure, and renewable energy. Leading the way is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has grown rapidly to $1.15 trillion in assets, securing fourth place worldwide. This momentum highlights the GCC’s expanding role in shaping international capital markets and investment trends.
