Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at the Oil Revenue Stabilization Account?
Investment decisions rest with the Bank of South Sudan’s top management, led by Governor James Alic Garang and two deputy governors. The nine-member Board of Directors sets high-level policy, meeting quarterly with provisions for extraordinary sessions when needed. No dedicated investment committee outside the central bank’s governance structure has been disclosed.
Is the Oil Revenue Stabilization Account a standalone sovereign wealth fund?
No. The ORSA is not a legally separate fund like Norway’s GPFG or Saudi Arabia’s PIF — it functions as an embedded stabilization facility within the Bank of South Sudan. This means its assets sit on the central bank’s balance sheet, and its operations are intertwined with monetary-policy execution and exchange-rate management.
How does the ORSA relate to the International Development Association’s 3SF project?
The ‘Strengthening South Sudan’s Financial Sector’ (3SF) project is a World Bank/IDA initiative supporting the Bank of South Sudan’s broader institutional capacity — including payment systems and financial supervision. It is a development-partner program, not a co-investment vehicle, and is operationally separate from the Oil Revenue Stabilization Account’s reserve-management function.
