Iran has created a new fund called the National Development Fund (NDF) that will invest in Iran. The new fund has been created to be an inter-generational national wealth fund. It will replace the existing Oil Stabilisation Fund (OSF). Iran transfers 20% of oil revenues to the National Development Fund.
The original fund (OSF) was created to invest Iran’s oil revenues and act as a stabilizer against fluctuating oil revenues.
The investment arm is the IFIC, the Iran Foreign Investment Company. It was incorporated in March 1998 as a private joint stock company with a mission to manage and expand Iranian holdings abroad.
