Al-Falih says Aramco’s listing by 2019 is 'nice', timing not critical

Khalid Al-Falih, Saudi Minister of Energy, said that seeing Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) listed on the stock exchange next year would be “nice,” but timing was not critical to the Saudi government, Reuters reported on Thursday.

Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) would be Aramco’s primary listing with an international secondary listing to be determined by where the market for its products is, which is “shifting to the East”, the minister added speaking in Vienna.
