Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte Ltd (GIC) is Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, established in 1981 to manage the country’s foreign reserves with a long-term, global investment mandate. Headquartered in Singapore, GIC invests across public and private markets, including equities, fixed income, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and credit, with a focus on preserving and enhancing the purchasing power of Singapore’s reserves over the long run.
For the chemical and broader energy-industrial value chain, GIC acts as a long-term financial investor rather than an operator. It backs large-scale assets and companies spanning petrochemicals, specialty and commodity chemicals, and related infrastructure such as gas and logistics, typically through minority stakes, joint ventures, and co-investments alongside industrial partners and other institutional investors. Its involvement provides stable capital to support development, expansion, and ownership transitions in capital-intensive segments of the sector.
