Interesting...... Lord Patten said: “Western countries were less enthusiastic about free trade and globalisation of markets when they dealt with the SWFs issue. GCC countries were highly transparent compared to others. For example, Russia is using the Gazprom company and energy issues to press on European countries and this increased fear in the West about the impact of state-owned investments. When a Western country privatises a state-owned company and after some years it is sold to another country the situation raises political arguments in the community about reasons behind privatising companies.”
