The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) has recorded the highest growth rate globally among sovereign wealth funds in 2025, according to a recent report released by Global SWF, an organization that monitors governance, sustainability, and resilience efforts of leading state-owned investors worldwide.
In a statement published on its official Facebook page, the LIA announced its notable progress in this year’s Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience (GSR) scoreboard, a global benchmark that evaluates state-owned investment funds based on strategic clarity, governance standards, financial transparency, investment policies, sustainability practices, and risk management.
According to the report, the Libyan Investment Authority achieved an overall score of 84%, marking a 32% increase compared to the previous year—the highest growth rate among sovereign wealth funds worldwide for 2025.
The LIA noted that this result reinforces its growing prominence at both the regional and continental levels, ranking third in the Arab world and second in Africa on the GSR index.
The authority attributed this success to a series of ongoing reforms and best practices implemented in recent years, including enhanced governance, greater financial disclosure, and improved adaptability to the rapidly evolving global investment environment. Over a six-year period, the LIA’s GSR score has surged from just 4% to 84%, reflecting the effectiveness of its long-term institutional reforms.
The LIA emphasized that this achievement aligns with the execution of its 2025–2027 strategy, which places a strong focus on transparency, corporate governance, and adherence to international best practices.
