Summary | Annotation First ignored, then seen as a cause for concern, and finallyconsidered stabilising agents amid the troubles of thefinancial tsunami, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) - stateinvestment vehicles based on balance of payment surpluses -have come under the scrutiny of public opinion withremarkable investments in developed economies, attractingthe attention of politicians, scholars and financialoperators. Having sponsored some significant Western banks'bailouts, and with the shrinking of economic growth, thebursting of financial and real-estate bubbles and theemphasis on refocusing liquidity on domestic markets, SWFsunderwent a phase of retrenchment. Since the second half of2009, they have adjusted targets and strategies to thechanged financial scenario and come back to the stage,proving to be major player in international financialmarkets. |
