Info
The OPEC Fund for International Development is a development finance institution established by the member countries of OPEC in 1976 as a channel of aid to other developing countries. The OPEC Fund works in cooperation with some 125 country partners and the international donor community to stimulate economic growth and alleviate poverty in all disadvantaged regions of the world. It does this by providing financing to build essential infrastructure, strengthen social services delivery and promote productivity, competitiveness and trade. The work of the OPEC Fund is people-centered, focusing on projects that meet basic needs - such as food, energy, clean water and sanitation, healthcare and education – with the aim of encouraging self-reliance and inspiring hope for the future. The headquarters of the OPEC Fund are located in Vienna, Austria. The current Director-General is Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa of Saudi Arabia. He assumed office as Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the OPEC Fund on November 1, 2018.

Today the #OPECFund participated in #Austria’s #HeritageDay! On one Sunday a year, various heritage sites in #Vienna open their doors to celebrate the “#TagdesDenkmals” – Austria’s contribution to the European Heritage Days progamme. The Palais Deutschmeister, acquired by the OPEC Fund in 1981, has been the institution’s headquarters since 1982. Originally built in the 1860s for the Habsburg Archduke Wilhelm Franz Karl, after a design by the renowned Danish architect Theophil von Hansen, the palace remains today a building of great character and beauty. In 2024, we extended our HQ to the Palais Colloredo-Mannsfeld. After a comprehensive renovation and redesign, the renewed Palais now offers state-of-the-art workplaces for over 80 employees. Preserving invaluable heritage while meeting sustainability challenges like #energyefficiency were guiding principles in the renovation. We are proud to call the palaces “home” and take great pleasure in sharing their history. Thank you to everyone who visited us today! #OPECFundInAustria #ichbindenkmal
