Saudi Aramco mulling share sales abroad: Al-Rumayyan

Saudi Arabia is planning to sell more stakes in state-owned oil producer Saudi Aramco, as it looks to fuel an economic diversification plan, chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan told Bloomberg.

“We have a lot of assets that could be monetized because they are non-core assets, which can improve the performance of the company,” he said, without disclosing further details.

Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan has previously announced that the giant oil producer is currently studying the listing of its shares internationally.
