Abu Dhabi Leads Global Wealth With USD 1.7 Trillion in Sovereign Funds

A new global ranking released by Global SWF highlights Abu Dhabi as the wealthiest city in the world, managing USD 1.7 trillion in sovereign assets.

This vast wealth is overseen by various entities, including the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), ADQ, Lunate, Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), Tawazun Economic Council, and Emirates Investment Authority (EIA).
