What's Happening?
The OPEC Fund for International Development was established on January 28, 1976, to finance development projects in non-member, low- and middle-income countries. The fund was created by OPEC member states to support global development initiatives, particularly in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The fund's resources are complemented by capital market mobilizations and are used to support various development projects worldwide. Member countries do not receive dividends or withdraw paid-in capital, ensuring that resources are dedicated to development efforts.

Why It's Important?
The OPEC Fund plays a crucial role in supporting global development, particularly in regions that lack sufficient financial resources. By financing projects in non-member countries, the fund helps address critical issues such as poverty, education, and infrastructure development. This support is vital for achieving the SDGs, which aim to improve living standards and promote sustainable economic growth. The fund's efforts contribute to global stability and prosperity, benefiting both donor and recipient countries.
