州长表示，沙特阿拉伯 PIF 计划将海外投资削减三分之一

公共投资基金行长Yasir Al-Rumayyan表示，主权财富基金更关注国内经济，旨在将该基金的国际投资比例从30%降至18%至20%。

Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund plans to reduce its overseas investments by about a third, its governor said on Tuesday, as the kingdom taps into its resources to fund plans to wean the economy off oil.

沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金计划将其海外投资减少约三分之一，该国州长周二表示，该国正在利用其资源为经济摆脱对石油依赖的计划提供资金。

Speaking on a panel of business, technology and finance leaders at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) summit in Riyadh, Public Investment Fund (PIF) governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan said the sovereign wealth fund was now more focused on the domestic economy.

在利雅得举行的未来投资倡议 (FII) 峰会上，公共投资基金 (PIF) 行长亚西尔·鲁迈扬 (Yasir Al-Rumayyan) 在商业、技术和金融领导人小组上发表讲话时表示，主权财富基金现在更加关注国内经济。

“We started PIF with 30 per cent (of its total investments) international and 70 per cent domestic. Now we are shifting. We want to bring (international investments) down to 18-20 per cent and bring up the domestic (investments),” he said.

“我们在创办 PIF 时，（占其总投资的）30% 是国际投资，70% 是国内投资。现在我们正在转变。我们希望将（国际投资）降低至 18-20%，并提高国内（投资）。”

Global business, technology and financial leaders have converged on the Saudi capital for the annual summit, an opportunity for attendees to forge relations with some of Saudi Arabia’s biggest companies and its $925bn sovereign wealth fund.

全球商业、技术和金融领袖齐聚沙特首都参加年度峰会，与会者有机会与沙特阿拉伯一些最大的公司及其 9,250 亿美元的主权财富基金建立关系。

This year, the event may also test investor appetite for Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation at a time when there are fears of widening conflict in the Middle East.

今年，在人们担心中东冲突扩大之际，这一事件也可能会考验投资者对沙特阿拉伯经济转型的兴趣。

The sovereign wealth fund is the primary vehicle for Prime Minister and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s plans to steer the Saudi economy away from oil, with investments of hundreds of billions of dollars to develop new sectors and create more sustainable revenue streams.

该主权财富基金是总理兼王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼计划引导沙特经济远离石油的主要工具，投资数千亿美元开发新行业并创造更可持续的收入来源。

However, the fund has been scaling back some of its flagship “giga-projects” due to rising costs.

然而，由于成本上升，该基金一直在缩减其一些旗舰“巨型项目”。

Al-Rumayyan said there had been a shift in the way the fund deploys its investments towards establishing joint ventures with both international and local companies.

Al-Rumayyan 表示，该基金的投资方式发生了转变，转向与国际和本地公司建立合资企业。

“Now we see a shift from people who want us to invest or take our money to invest from there to co-investments,” he told the conference.

他在会议上表示：“现在我们看到人们从希望我们投资或拿我们的钱进行投资的人转向共同投资。”

Other high-profile speakers on the Tuesday morning panel included Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink, Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman and Alphabet’s President and CIO Ruth Porat.

周二上午小组讨论中的其他知名演讲者包括 Moderna 首席执行官 Stephane Bancel、BlackRock 首席执行官 Laurence Fink、Blackstone 首席执行官 Stephen Schwarzman 以及 Alphabet 总裁兼首席信息官 Ruth Porat。

Most executives on the morning panel spoke about the potential life-changing impact of artificial intelligence. At the same time, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin said that markets expected Donald Trump to win the US election on November 5 but that the outcome remained “almost a coin toss”.

上午小组中的大多数高管都谈到了人工智能可能改变生活的影响。与此同时，Citadel 首席执行官 Ken Griffin 表示，市场预计唐纳德·特朗普将赢得 11 月 5 日的美国大选，但结果仍然“几乎是抛硬币”。

Blackstone Group CEO Steve Schwarzman, who has endorsed Trump, initially said he would not comment on the election before saying that Trump had a better understanding today of how the presidency works than in 2016.

支持特朗普的黑石集团首席执行官史蒂夫·施瓦茨曼(Steve Schwarzman)最初表示，他不会对此次选举发表评论，后来又表示，特朗普今天比 2016 年对总统职位的运作方式有了更好的了解。

While the first panel made no mention of wars in the region, it was followed by a speech by economist Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University that was critical of the US and Israel.

虽然第一个小组没有提及该地区的战争，但随后哥伦比亚大学经济学家杰弗里·萨克斯发表了批评美国和以色列的演讲。

“We don’t need artificial intelligence in war; we need human intelligence to stop the wars,” he said to applause. “We don’t need more smart weapons; we need negotiations.”

“我们在战争中不需要人工智能；我们在战争中需要人工智能。”我们需要人类智慧来阻止战争。”他说道，赢得了掌声。 “我们不需要更智能的武器；我们需要的是更智能的武器。”我们需要谈判。”

Sachs said Israel and the US were blocking the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

萨克斯表示，以色列和美国正在阻止建立独立的巴勒斯坦国。

“Until there is (a Palestinian state), there is going to be no peace in the region,” he said, speaking of wars in Gaza and Lebanon and concerns there may be a wider regional conflict.

“在建立巴勒斯坦国之前，该地区不会有和平，”他在谈到加沙和黎巴嫩的战争以及可能出现更广泛的地区冲突时表示。
