Author

  • Christopher Balding

Abstract

[eng] 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
