Sovereign Wealth Funds may save us from recession ...

... but at what price? A fall in asset prices during a recession may be partly ameliorated by SWFs bargain hunting and thus driving the price up.
But yet more assets become foreign owned.
Welcome to UK plc a partially foreign-owned subsidiary of China, AbuDhabi and other rich Arab states.

All globalisation is good remember.

All UK manufacturing, service sector and research overseas.
All UK businesses foreign owned
All UK property foreign owned.

Sounds like a good plan.

SWFs keeping prices of stock up wont save us from the big R though will it?

Unless the SWFs prevent the housing crash by starting to buy up all the overpriced housing stock we are fecked anyway.

I somehow doubt they will.
