本稿は、湾岸諸国のソブリン・ウェルス・ファンド（SWF）がエネルギー転換の文脈でどのように投資優先順位を変えているかを分析。伝統的な石油レントの貯蔵・安定化機能に加え、再生可能エネルギーや低炭素インフラ、ESG資産への投資を通じた多様化の原動力となっていることを示す。ただし、実際のエネルギー転換投資は宣言された気候目標に依然として遅れている。

This article analyzes the changing investment priorities of Gulf sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) in the context of the energy transition. It shows that beyond traditional functions, SWFs are increasingly used to drive diversification into renewable energy, low-carbon infrastructure, and ESG assets. However, actual energy transition investments still lag behind declared climate goals.

📄 Abstract（原文）
In the context of the global energy transition, sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) of the Persian Gulf countries are becoming key financial and political instruments for restructuring oil and gas economies. The purpose of the article is to analyze the changing investment priorities of the SWF states of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf (GCC) in the context of energy transition and "green" financial architecture. It is shown that along with the traditional function of saving and stabilizing oil rents, SWFs are increasingly being used as drivers of diversification, including through investments in renewable energy, low‑carbon growth infrastructure, and ESG assets. The role of SWF in regional strategies for the development of renewable energy and "green" financing is considered, including proposals to use funds as anchor investors in wind and solar energy, hydrogen and sustainable water supply projects. Special attention is paid to the political and economic aspects of the transformation of SWFs into instruments of "late renterism" and ensuring the stability of regimes, including through the de‑risking of private capital and expansion into global financial markets. Based on the analysis, it is shown that the new investment priorities of the Persian Gulf SWF are formed at the intersection of three elements, namely: financial profitability, strategic diversification and climate legitimacy, but the actual investments in energy transition still lag behind the declared climate goals.
