In 1976, the Amir of Kuwait, HH Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah issued a decree creating the Reserve Fund for Future Generations (FGF) as the intergenerational saving platform for the State of Kuwait by allocating a minimum of ten percent of the State’s annual revenues to this platform.

As Kuwait continued to grow as a nation, a new mechanism was developed to manage all of the state’s reserve funds. The Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) was then established in 1982 as KIO’s parent organization. KIA’s main functions include managing the State’s Reserve, the FGF and any other funds entrusted to the KIA by the Minister of Finance.

Stemming from this rich history, KIA continues working to safeguard the financial wealth of Kuwait’s current and future generations by diversifying revenue streams and ensuring a fiscally sustainable and secure future.
