Abstract

[fre] L'indépendance des fonds souverains répond à des objectifs bien précis des économies dépendantes des matières premières et représentent des défis pour les pays qui sont les cibles de leurs investissements. Les sorties rhétoriques de leurs adversaires obscurcit la question de l'égalité de traitement, qui est la clé de voûte du système économique international. Les responsables politiques doivent s'efforcer de répondre aux fonds souverains dans le cadre du principe d'égalité de traitement et les universitaires doivent effectuer des comparaisons pertinentes de leurs comportements d'investissement plutôt que des déclarations invérifiables sur leurs motivations de profit. . Classification JEL : F30, G29 [eng] Who's Afraid of Sovereign Wealth Funds ? . Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) independence target specific issues faced by commodity dependent economies and represent challenges to investment target countries. The rhetorical impulses of critics obscures the issue of equal treatment, the cornerstone of the international economic system. Policy makers must work to deal with SWFs within the principle of equal treatment and scholar must make appropriate comparisons of investment behavior rather than theoretical unreliable assertions about profit motives. . JEL Classification : F30, G29
