Sovereign Wealth Funds in Central and Eastern Europe

Author(s):  
Piotr Wiśniewski

This chapter examines the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) activity of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) from two perspectives: CEE-based SWFs operating internationally and CEE as hosts to international SWF investments. The scales of both activities are marginal in global terms, yet the SWF footprint can be significant in isolated CEE industries or investment targets. While new SWFs are unlikely to emerge in CEE, the scale of global SWF allocation to the region is set to expand in line with diversification and growth opportunities. CEE should strive to improve its investment climate, including competitiveness of financial industries. The existing CEE-based (Russian) SWFs would benefit from deregulation, transparency and commitment to performance metrics, yet they remain a hostage to the future shape of Russian, and world macroeconomic policy.

The emerging negative phenomena in Central and Eastern Europe underlines the importance of the need for an ethical infrastructure of emerging markets to be built. Logically, the first step must be a formal, e.g. legal infrastructure, which is also, for obvious reasons, under principal reconstruction. The challenge here is not only that the new law must be passed but also correctly interpreted and fully implemented. For some people compliance with law is sufficient; for others this represents only the minimal ethical requirement. The role of individuals and institutions, especially governments, in the process of building the ethical infrastructure is understood differently in the CEE countries. There might be even bigger differences in the future, as market experience grows and markets mature, however, at different speeds in individual countries. It may be assumed that introducing a market system and cultivating the culture of the market necessitate different accents.
