Abstract: This article reveals that developing country sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) as players in the world foreign direct investment (FDI) market have received considerable attention. On the other hand, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) - another class of state-controlled entities (SCEs) - are serious players in the world FDI market. UNCTAD identified more than 650 SOEs that are multinational enterprises (MNEs). They hail from both emerging markets and developed countries.
