An investment fund created by a government out of surpluses. The funds are then invested for the benefit of the country and its peoples. For example, Norway has accumulated over $1.4 trillion, in March 2024, from the profits of its oil interests in the North Sea and is the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. South Africa does not have a sovereign wealth fund, although there have been suggestions that we establish one. The problem is that with the government's finances being so heavily over-borrowed it is unlikely that we will be able to do this for some years.
