卡塔尔投资局坚持其在未来十年向美国投资5000亿美元的承诺，首席执行官穆罕默德·赛义夫·苏瓦伊迪表示，即使该基金需要动用储备来支持卡塔尔经济，这一目标也应能实现。他在多哈举行的CNN全球视角会议上说，他在被任命为首席执行官时的授权，包括为卡塔尔液化天然气扩产预期带来的意外之财做好投资准备。
Qatar Investment Authority is sticking to its commitment to invest $500 billion in the US over the next decade, a target it should achieve even if the fund needs to draw on its reserves to support Qatar’s economy. Mohammed Saif Al-Sowaidi’s mandate, when he was appointed as CEO, included preparing QIA to invest the windfall expected from Qatar’s liquefied natural gas expansion, he said at CNN’s Global Perspectives conference in Doha.
他说，支撑这一配置的是美国经济的吸引力，美国经济占全球GDP的25%、可交易金融资产的60%。卡塔尔投资局正将其纽约团队扩充至约45人，以准备部署资金。苏瓦伊迪表示，美国在创新方面的领导地位及其对投资者友好的环境，是决定增加在那里配置的驱动因素。
Underpinning the allocation is the attractiveness of the US economy, which accounts for 25% of global GDP and 60% of tradable financial assets, he said. QIA is doubling its New York team to around 45 people to prepare for the deployment. Al-Sowaidi said American leadership in innovation and its investor-friendly environment were driving the decision to boost allocations there.
