Funding
In response to the significant development needs of partner countries, the OPEC Fund’s loan portfolio has grown rapidly over its 48-year history. Since its inception in 1976, this growth has been funded by equity in the form of capital contributions from member countries only. In 2019 the Ministerial Council approved a new strategy - the Strategic Framework 2030 - intended to ensure the organization’s ability to continue to provide development finance support, in line with its objectives and the interests of its stakeholders.
Integral to the success of the Strategic Framework 2030 is the ability to continue to grow development impact while being financially self-sustainable for the long term. This does not preclude further capital replenishments from members, however lays the groundwork for capital markets borrowing in line with peer MDBs. As a consequence, the organization has been funding in the international capital markets since the end of 2022.
Since 2023, the OPEC Fund has issued over US$2.2 billion of long term debt through public benchmarks and private placements. In 2025 we intend to fund expected growth in operations in the capital markets with a focus on US$ as well as issuing arbitrage and reverse enquiry transactions in multiple currencies on an opportunistic basis to meet investor needs.
