Once again New Delhi is toying with the idea of setting up a sovereign wealth fund. The temptation is obvious. India is the only Bric country without such a fund, de rigueur among up and coming emerging economies. China's SAFE Investment Company and China Investment Corporation are each ranked among the top five in the world by assets under management, with $636bn between them. Russia's National Welfare Fund weighs in with $168bn under management. The Brazilians, too, have joined the party, establishing the Sovereign Fund of Brazil in 2009 with the aim of defending the country from future financial crises and assisting Brazilian companies to increase trade and expand abroad.
印度政府再次動起設(shè)立一個主權(quán)財富基金的念頭。誘惑是顯而易見的。印度是金磚四國中唯一沒有此類基金的國家，而對一個積極進(jìn)取的新興經(jīng)濟(jì)體來說，這樣一個基金似乎是必需的。中國國家外匯管理局(SAFE)旗下投資公司和中國投資公司(CIC)均在全球托管資產(chǎn)規(guī)模最大的五個主權(quán)基金行列，兩家公司共管理著6360億美元。俄羅斯的國家福利基金(National Welfare Fund)管理著1680億美元。巴西也不甘落后，在2009年設(shè)立了巴西主權(quán)基金(Sovereign Fund of Brazil)，以防御未來的金融危機(jī)，并協(xié)助巴西公司推進(jìn)貿(mào)易和海外擴(kuò)張。
