Financial
A strong and resilient economy provides the foundations for sustainable economic and social development.
The OPEC Fund finances operations that support decent work and economic growth, and industry, innovation and infrastructure (United Nations SDGs 8 and 9). The OPEC Fund is particularly keen to support micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, which often lack access to credit in emerging markets, but also form the backbone of those economies, providing jobs and helping to raise living standards.
In 2020, the OPEC Fund committed US$130 million to the financial sector.
Commitments are operations and agreements that have been signed by the relevant parties.
