Dear Ministers,
I am pleased to present to you the OECD Investment Committee.s report on ."Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) and Recipient Country Policies”. This report was prepared in response to the request of the G7 Finance Ministers and other OECD members last fall, for us to develop guidance for recipient countries. policies toward investments from these funds. The OECD addressed this request as part of an ongoing project on Freedom of Investment and National Security, which was launched in view of the rise of investment protectionism and to maintain open markets.
