CHAPTER 2
The largest share of OPEC Fund operations contributes to SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), with a total of 32 operations (71 percent of all reviewed) aligned (Figure 3). 3 These projects span a variety of sectors, including support to the banking sector to enable access to finance for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and interna-
tional trade, as well as in agriculture. The second and third most represented goals were SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), with 60 percent of projects contrib- uting, followed by SDG 13 (Climate Action) which saw 51 percent of projects aligned with this objective. For all SDG contributions, see Figure 3 below and Tables 1-17 overleaf.
