The article explains that Mubadala, the UAE-based company, topped the list of sovereign investors in the Middle East and North Africa during the first nine months of 2026, with nearly $26.2 billion in investments. During the same period, the total investments in the region reached $102 billion, accounting for 39% of global sovereign activity. The report also highlights that Abu Dhabi’s sovereign funds manage assets valued at approximately $2.2 trillion, while the region’s sovereign wealth funds overall hold around $6.1 trillion in assets, with projections indicating that this figure will rise to $8.8 trillion by 2030. The article further points out a significant increase in the number of employees working for sovereign investors, which has surpassed 12,000 across the Gulf region. Notably, the Saudi Arabian Investment Fund employs 3,321 staff members, with Saudis making up 86% of them. Additionally, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) experienced a 54% growth in managed assets in 2026, currently hosting 84 companies—expected to reach 112 by the end of the year—and the number of employees at the Mushriff and Reem islands increased by 34%. The investment policies and the colossal assets managed by these institutions remain among the most important factors highlighting the region’s position as a major hub for global sovereign investment.
