‘No plan for Soverign Wealth Fund’

New Delhi, May 6

The Finance Minister P Chidambaram said on Tuesday that India was not looking to set up a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). “There is no such proposal under consideration of the Government at present”, Mr Chidambaram said in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha. Currently, there are about 40 SWFs around the world that collectively manage a corpus of about $ 3 trillion. The Prime Minister’s Council on Trade and Industry had suggested the setting up of a sovereign fund, with initial corpus of $ 5 billion, to help fund acquisition of companies abroad.
