In early July, Global SWF released its annual report on the “Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience (GSR 2025) Scoreboard,” which evaluates the performance of sovereign wealth funds globally. The evaluation is based on a set of criteria including strategic vision clarity, governance, financial disclosure, investment policies, commitment to sustainability standards, and risk management efficiency.
Topping this year’s rankings is the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which received a perfect score of 100%, alongside other sovereign funds from Singapore, New Zealand, Ireland, and Nigeria.
The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) achieved a score of 84%, securing fifth place jointly and recording the highest growth rate among all sovereign wealth funds over the past year, with a 32% increase compared to 2024.
The report further highlights that LIA recorded a cumulative growth rate of 80% between 2020 and 2025 — the highest among all funds during this period — rising from 4% in 2020 to 84% in 2025. This growth reflects the Authority’s commitment to principles of transparency, sound governance, and sustainability.
These results confirm the prominent position held by the Libyan Investment Authority regionally and continentally. In 2025, it ranked third among Arab sovereign wealth funds, following Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and jointly ranked second (alongside the Omani and Emirati funds). On the African level, it was second only to Nigeria’s Sovereign Wealth Fund.
The report attributes this notable improvement to practices adopted by the Authority in recent years, including strengthening governance frameworks, enhancing transparency, and improving adaptability to rapidly evolving global investment conditions. These efforts form part of LIA’s long-term strategic transformation supported by robust execution mechanisms.
This achievement comes within the framework of the Authority’s 2025–2027 strategy, which prioritizes enhanced transparency, reinforced governance, and adherence to international best practices.
