  • Sovereign Wealth Funds: Their Operation and the Economic, Political and Legal Responses
    Sovereign Wealth Funds: Their Operation and the Economic, Political and Legal Responses Georges Kratsas UCL PhD I, Georges Kratsas, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 1 Abstract Abstract This thesis deals with the investment behaviour of government-led investment vehicles, widely known as Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), and the implications that arise from their investments in Europe and the western world. In the last 10 to 15 years SWFs have grown in size and number and have drawn the attention of many government officials because of their non- transparent nature and their expansionary investment policies. Although SWFs have been a valuable source of foreign investment in the past, their non- transparent nature, combined with their government-controlled status, raises fears that their investments might be politically, rather than economically, motivated. Specific examples of those concerns are the risk that SWFs use their economic influence in order to obtain critical information, to transfer Jobs abroad or compromise the operation of strategically important companies such as telecommunications or energy companies. The above concerns have led many western governments to take active measure to regulate sovereign investors. Such regulation comes in the form of legislation establishing procedures to control the impact of their investments. Additionally, various forms of regulation have been established at the international level, through the adoption of Codes of Conduct. The main case studies used in this thesis are those of France, Germany, the USA as well as instruments promulgated by international bodies, such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.

    HC November 2019 Newsletter – Draft Dear Friends of Austria! On Nov 11, Representatives from the Vienna Business Agency organized an interesting evening at the World Trade Center in Seattle presenting the advantages and possibilities the City of Vienna has to offer to attract businesses. Among the participants were about 30 guests of the Austrian community engaging in a productive exchange of ideas and information. On the other days of their visit in Seattle meetings were arranged with representatives of the City of Seattle, Greater Seattle Region, and individual companies and persons with an interest in Vienna as a business location. The positive impressions point to the start of a closer cooperation between two amazing cities!
