Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF swung to a profit of 138.1 billion riyals ($36.81 billion) in 2023, it said on Monday.

Total revenues at the Public Investment Fund more than doubled to $88.5 billion last year from $44 billion in 2022, according to a regulatory filing.

The rise in revenues was driven by factors including an improvement in both investment and non-investment activities in sectors like banking, telecommunications and gaming, as well as increased dividends.

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) is "strongly dissatisfied" with anti-subsidy tariffs proposed by the European Union, the industry group said in a statement on Saturday.

Manufacturers had cooperated with the European Commission's investigation into Chinese subsidies, but the inquiry had ignored the facts and preselected results, CAAM said in a post on the Chinese messaging app WeChat, Reuters reported.

The EU imposed tariffs of up to 37.6% on imports of electric vehicles made in China from Friday, with a four-month window during which the tariffs are provisional with intensive talks expected between the two sides.

"CAAM deeply regrets this and holds it firmly unacceptable," it said.

The provisional duties of between 17.4% and 37.6% without backdating are designed to prevent what European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said is a threatened flood of cheap Chinese electric vehicles built with state subsidies.

The EU anti-subsidy investigation has nearly four months to run.
