Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is projected to become the world’s second-largest sovereign wealth fund by 2030, managing assets worth $2 trillion, according to Global SWF. This would mark a significant increase from its current $925 billion, positioning it as a major player in global investment.

By 2030, PIF is expected to hold 10.5% of global sovereign wealth assets, which are anticipated to reach $19 trillion. The fund’s growth strategy includes oil revenue allocations, debt issuance, and investment returns. Diego Lopez of Global SWF highlights the fund’s attractiveness to international partners due to its substantial financial resources and developmental role.

PIF’s annualized return from 2013 to 2022 was 6.9%, surpassing the average of 5.7%. The global economy showed resilience in 2024, with GDP growth at 3.2% despite geopolitical challenges. Central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, began easing rates as inflation pressures decreased.

Saudi Arabia’s economic expansion is driven by diversification projects like NEOM and Qiddiya. PIF’s investments in these areas position it as a gateway for investors interested in emerging markets. The GCC region, with its significant share of global sovereign wealth assets, continues to attract international attention.

PIF aims to boost domestic spending to $70 billion annually by 2025, focusing on sectors like infrastructure, digitalization, AI, and renewable energy. Notable investments include stakes in Saudi Arabia’s TAWAL and the UK’s Selfridges. PIF has also ventured into AI and space, reflecting its commitment to technological innovation.

Despite reducing its US equity portfolio, PIF’s overall assets continue to grow, with strategic investments in electric vehicles, including a major commitment to Lucid Motors. Lucid’s manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia aligns with Vision 2030’s goals of industrial growth and innovation.

In January, PIF secured a $7 billion murabaha credit facility as part of its strategy to diversify funding for transformative investments. This move aligns with a broader trend among sovereign wealth funds using debt financing to support growth. PIF’s ability to manage financial obligations will be crucial in sustaining investor confidence and achieving Vision 2030 objectives.
