Middle East sovereign investors face reduced funding | GulfNews.com:

"The fall in the oil price is expected to reduce funding and increase withdrawal risk of Middle East sovereign investors but many of these investors are better placed to manage these challenges than in the past, according to Invesco’s Sixth Middle East Asset Management Study 2015.

Established Middle East sovereigns have concerns over withdrawal and funding risk but also feel they are better placed to cope with the challenges than before the global financial crisis. A significant majority (67 per cent) of regional sovereign investors fear funding squeeze due to the sustained fall in oil prices.

“We have highlighted concerns over funding and withdrawals for Middle East sovereigns and the positive perceptions of Middle East risk management processes compared to their pre-global financial crisis position in the oil price theme above,” Nick Tolchard, Head of Invesco Middle East."
