The Palestine Investment Fund, established in 2003 and registered as a public shareholding company under the Ministry of National Economy, aims to bolster the Palestinian economy through investments across a variety of sectors.

We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Mohammad Mustafa, who led the fund as chairman since January 2009, recently transitioned to a new role as the Palestinian prime minister on March 14, leaving the fund’s leadership to the new appointees.
This strategic reshuffle in the fund’s leadership comes at a time when the Palestinian economy faces numerous challenges, from political instability to restricted access to resources. The new board is expected to drive forward initiatives that can invigorate economic sectors and support sustainable development within the Palestinian territories.
