Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) have emerged as powerful instruments for fostering economic resilience, stability, and long-term growth, particularly in resource-rich nations across the Middle East and Africa. This session will explore the evolving role of SWFs as drivers of economic diversification and sustainable development. It will assess best practices in fund governance, transparency, and strategic investment approaches that balance national interests with global opportunities. Leading MEA SWFs will discuss how they can be leveraged to navigate regional challenges, harness emerging sectors like technology and renewable energy, and ensure intergenerational wealth preservation. Participants will gain valuable insights into how MEA countries can use these funds to transform their economies and secure long-term prosperity. This closed-door panel will also bring together African and Middle Eastern SWFs to discuss how they collaborate today, and how to collaborate more effectively in the future.
