A fundamental shift
• Emerging economies are returning to their historical position in the global economy - a rebalancing of the wealth of nations.
• “Decoupling” is no longer an appropriate concept, since the Centre is no longer the Centre, and the Periphery no longer Periphery.
• Sovereign Wealth Funds are at the heart of this process.

• Currently, global equity funds invest 7-10%
of their equity investments in Emerging
Markets.
• If SWFs invested along a similar allocation,
they would already account for a large part of
the inflows to emerging economies.
• SWFs, themselves based in emerging
countries, might be more willing to invest in
other emerging countries

USD billionEmerging market investment potential by SWFs
•Allocations from Sovereign Development Funds to
emerging and developing countries could generate inflows
of over $100 billion/year over the next 10 years
•With such huge potential flows, it is critical to address
SWF impact on developing world early on.
•SWFs sheer size has the potential to dwarf ODA flows to
developing world

Sovereign Development Funds?3
OECD Development Centre
Emerging markets have proven resilient to shocks more than ever before
Three key differences:
1. Real wage rigidities have
decreased
2. Monetary policy: Stronger
commitment of central banks to
control inflation (i.e. inflation
targeting)
3. Share of oil in the economy has
decreased substantially

Response to an oil price shock
OECD Development Centre
• Sovereign funds seeking higher returns will find fast growing emerging
markets attractive
• Emerging market SWFS seem like ideal investors for developing countries:
long-term (not short-term speculators),
• Geographical, language and “familiarity effects” could mean lower information
asymmetries for emerging market investors.
• If Developed country protectionist urges solidify, this may drive EM SWFs
further into developing regions.
• Timing is felicitous: many African / Emerging Market countries have
considerably improved governance & investment climate over recent years (16
functioning stock markets in Africa today – 5 in 1980’s)
SWFs are well adapted to investing in emerging regions

Information Asymmetries
• What information? Accounting practices, corporate culture, political events, the structure of asset markets and their institutions.
• Market participants do not share the same information. Emerging SWFs have experience, firsthand knowledge of emerging countries institutional and infrastructure shortcomings.
• they are themselves from an emerging investor universe and have historical informational/network advantages (Gulf states in North Africa, Indians in East Africa, Chinese in South-East Asia, Russian in Central Asia)
An emerging market ‘home bias’?
OECD Development Centre
• Sovereign Wealth Funds signal a major reshaping of the world’s economy. They may grow to become key actors of development finance: Sovereign Development Funds.
• If SWFs were to allocate 10% of their portfolio to other emerging and developing economies over the next decade, this could generate inflows of USD 1 400 billion.
• The international investment of sovereign funds is already increasing. Domestically, they are development finance institutions. Abroad, they seek performance and returns.
• Collaboration and peer-learning between different actors can be promoted.

Case Studies: what’s going on in Asia and the Middle East?
Temasek (Singapore) Asia represents 40% of its portfolio, including ICICI Bank,
Tata Sky, Tata Teleservices, Mahindra & Mahindra. Gulf SWFs are increasing their exposure to Asia: targeting 10-30% of total
portfolio towards Asia
Kuwait Investment Authority $750 billion stake in Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Qatar Investment Authority Stake in Industrial and Commercial Bank of China
Dubai International Capital 30% of portfolio to allocated to Emerging Asia. Early 2008 announced that will invest $ 5 billion in China, India and Japan. Also
MENA Infrastructure Fund (‘MENA IF’), a US$500 million sector-specific fund targeting investment opportunities in infrastructure projects in the MENA region
Increasing regional exposure for Asian and Middle Eastern funds
