"A New Era of Capital Flows in a Polycentric World", developed by ADQ in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Abu Dhabi Global Market, and with Stern at NYU Abu Dhabi serving as academic advisor, explores the idea that the world is on the brink of a new era of capital flows.
These flows now originate from a wider range of contributors and reach more diverse destinations, a trend evident across portfolio, trade and foreign direct investments. While traditionally driven by global factors like liquidity and market volatility, domestic pull factors such as economic growth, trade openness and investor sentiment are becoming increasingly influential.
As a result, many growth markets are now both providers and recipients of capital flows, a position once held by advanced economies.
The paper includes perspectives from some of the world’s leading investment minds, including:
- His Excellency Majid Al Suwaidi, CEO, ALTÉRRA
- His Excellency Mohammad Al Hawi, Undersecretary, Ministry of Investment of the UAE
- Ray Dalio, Founder and CIO Mentor, Bridgewater Associates
- Rajiv Jain, Chairman and CIO, GQG Partners
- Hendrik du Toit, Founder and CEO, Ninety One
“With this paper, we hope to inform the conversation on what is an important and evolving issue for nations around the world as we continue to navigate the changing global economic landscape. It is likely that polycentrism will increase in the future, and we believe that Abu Dhabi – known as the ‘Capital of Capital’ – as well as the wider UAE can provide a useful viewpoint for others.”
– Mansour AlMulla, Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer at ADQ
