Middle Eastern sovereign funds are doubling down on Chinese stocks this year, with Abu Dhabi and Kuwait's investment authorities now ranking among top 10 shareholders in over 50 A-share companies, according to Q3 earnings reports. The trend took center stage at last week's Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025, where over 5,000 financial institutions gathered to discuss global opportunities 🌐💼.
"Middle Eastern investors want the golden trio – growth potential, strategic alignment, and dividend stability," explains Zhang Yiming of China International Capital Corp. Their shopping list? Green tech innovators driving China's industrial upgrade, globally competitive tech giants, and cash-rich traditional industry leaders 🏭💡.
But this isn't just portfolio diversification – it's a vote of confidence in China's economic muscle. CFR expert Zongyuan Zoe Liu notes: "China's advanced manufacturing tech combined with cost efficiency creates irresistible value. Their progress in key tech sectors is rewriting global supply chain rules."
With Middle Eastern capital expected to keep flowing into A-shares, this partnership could accelerate the internationalization of China's markets – and reshape global investment maps in 2026 and beyond 🚀🌍.
