Expand commentGeoff Hall Saudi Arabia is getting into a highly diversified set of global investments. For a country with a trade balance of just $73 billion in 2024, this is quite rare compared to countries with much larger trade surpluses such as China ($450B) and Germany ($320B).
The PIF’s growth from roughly $100–200 billion in 2015 to over $1 trillion in 2025 naturally raises an important question: what might the fund’s growth rate and total size look like over the next 10 years?
Trump, despite the criticism he often receives, does appear to have a few surprises here. He has expressed support for the idea of a US sovereign wealth fund—which is both an intriguing and potentially deeply concerning idea, given the typical trajectory of US foreign policy and strategic activities abroad over the past few decades. That said, it is probably something the US needs, depending on what it is being used for, who ultimately controls decision-making and sets the fund’s goals.
Such a fund would almost certainly trigger significant political infighting over structure, governance, and how decisions are made regarding what to acquire, when, and where to invest. The Saudi's seem very focused and organized in terms of its strategic goals with the fund.
