Kabar baik...Libya Sovereign Investment Fund to Shun U.S., Ghanem Says By Francine Lacqua and Maher Chmaytelli Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Libya's $100 billion sovereign wealth fund will avoid buying U.S. assets because of politically motivated restrictions on investments by Arab states, the North African nation's top oil official said. The fund, fed with oil revenue, will consider buying stocks, bonds, real estate and banks in countries from China and Indonesia to Europe and Latin America, Shokri Ghanem, the chairman of Libya's state-owned National Oil Corp, said in an interview yesterday evening with Bloomberg television in Vienna.
