IMF: Sovereign Funds reach preliminary agreement on draft principles


The International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds reached a preliminary agreement on a draft set of principles and practices for recommendation to their respective governments.

The International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IWG) reached a preliminary agreement on a draft set of principles and practices for recommendation to their respective governments.

 

The Generally Accepted Principles and Practices for Sovereign Wealth Funds (GAPP) is a voluntary framework that would guide the appropriate governance and accountability arrangements, as well as the conduct of appropriate investment practices by SWFs.

 

IWG members also decided to explore the establishment of a standing group of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs). This is in recognition of the need to carry forward the work relating to the GAPP, as necessary, and to facilitate dialogue with official institutions and recipient countries on developments that impact SWF operations.
