As some of the world\u2019s biggest spenders, Gulf funds are increasingly looking at Asian economies that offer a \u201ccompelling mix of higher growth potential, younger demographics, and expanding consumer markets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asia still accounts for a small portion of Gulf SWFs\u2019 portfolios, but allocations are <\/strong><strong>steadily growing. <\/strong>Abu Dhabi Investment Authority\u2019s (Adia) portfolio in 2024 was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/3030a29e-6d8b-455a-b67f-5cb4e72e32d9\/%253cmark%253eadia%253c%2Fmark%253e-doubles-down-on-private-equity,-data-driven-strategies\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">predominantly allocated<\/a> to North America at 40-60%, while emerging markets got 10-20% and developed Asia made up 5-10%.

And PIF is just getting started in Asia, after getting a qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) license only a few years ago, and just recently opening in Hong Kong and Beijing,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asia\u2019s priorities align well with the Gulf\u2019s: <\/strong>Gulf funds are chasing Asia\u2019s energy transition and digital push, as they continue to prioritize diversifying their economies and portfolios away from oil. Kassab pointed to the continent\u2019s expansion in renewables, advanced manufacturing, and tech innovation, which create both attractive investment prospects and platforms for knowledge transfer. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure growth also fit neatly with SWFs\u2019 long-term horizons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Western markets, meanwhile, are losing some shine. <\/strong>North American assets \u201cpresent high volatility and uncertainty,\u201d while European assets \u201clack significant growth,\u201d L\u00f3pez told us. Kassab added that stronger government-to-government ties are also giving Gulf funds access to previously restricted sectors such as infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Gulf SWFs are not pouring investments into a vacuum \u2014 they\u2019re strategic in their <\/strong><strong>choices. <\/strong>\u201cSovereign funds are helping create stronger business and trade links between the Middle East and Asia,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cThe corridor Middle East-Asia is getting busier, and SWFs are playing an important role in making it happen,\u201d he added. Investments are taking place alongside a major diplomatic push for closer ties with the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who\u2019s in the spotlight?<\/strong> India and China dominate the agenda. \u201cMajor Asian economies such as India and China remain central to Gulf SWF strategies due to their scale, innovation ecosystems, and robust consumer markets,\u201d Kassab said. The top focus areas include renewables, technology, infrastructure, healthcare, and consumer goods, Kassab said. Advanced manufacturing and real estate are also gaining momentum, she added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Each country offers <\/strong><strong>prospects<\/strong><strong> in key strategic sectors:<\/strong> Saudi funds are focusing on \u201cstrategic partnerships and co-investments, particularly in transformative sectors like renewables and technology\u201d, Kassab told us. \u201cIn China, it may be more technology and innovation; in India it may be more renewables and toll roads; and in Indonesia it may be more healthcare and consumer,\u201d L\u00f3pez said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The next frontier: <\/strong>Southeast Asia is becoming a bigger part of the mix. L\u00f3pez noted that while China, India, and Indonesia have traditionally been the big three, \u201cother smaller economies such as Vietnam or Malaysia present great [potential] too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Kassab also name-checked Vietnam, Malaysia, and Bangladesh as among the smaller <\/strong><strong>nations in Asia that are gaining traction<\/strong> due to their resource strengths and growing middle-class populations, Kassab said.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman accounted for the bulk of large-scale green FDI in the GCC during 2020-2024, together logging 29 outbound and 10 inbound investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The breakdown<\/strong>: Some USD 19 bn of Saudi\u2019s capital went to hydrogen and ammonia, while USD 2 bn went to renewable power, USD 2 bn to batteries, USD 1 bn to sustainable construction, and USD 1 bn to green industrials and chemicals. The country invested USD 10 bn in Egypt, USD 7 bn in Thailand, USD 5 bn in Brazil, USD 2 bn in Australia, and USD 1 bn in the UK. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Kingdom received the largest amount of green investment inflows across the region <\/strong><strong>at USD 12.6 bn<\/strong>, followed by Oman at USD 8.9 bn, with the bulk of inflows focusing on hydrogen and the EV sector. The UAE was the recipient of just USD 2.5 bn in green FDI inflows during the same period. Weak investment support, policy gaps, and regulatory uncertainty weighed on inbound FDI flows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The GCC can step up its green FDI game<\/strong> by opening up sustainable finance, securing long-term buyers for green products, and deepening local markets, strategy& said. A few policy tweaks would help too, including clearer carbon pricing and green taxes, more flexible ownership rules, and stronger investor protections. A dedicated green manufacturing law and industry fund could help incentivize eco-friendly production by reducing risk and fueling demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The outlook:<\/strong> Despite trade frictions, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting capital flows from climate tech to data centers, corporate sustainability targets and technology advances will keep green FDI on a growth path in the long term, strategy& said. At a time when tariffs are recalibrating trade and manufacturing flows, countries can also benefit from fresh avenues for green FDI flows, and the GCC is well positioned to emerge not just as an investor but also as a leading destination for sustainable investment, the report noted. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div

In Europe, some French companies are borrowing more cheaply than their government, underscoring just how far investors have chased yield. \u201cIt\u2019s fair to say you\u2019ve never been paid less to take risk,\u201d one asset manager told the FT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AI boom offsetting spending slowdown: <\/strong>BlackRock points to AI buildout and infrastructure as \u201cmega forces\u201d offsetting a slowdown in consumption and anchoring returns, with the tech sector accounting for over 40% of total return and a similar share of earnings growth, according to LSEG data.
