Saudi Aramco dials back IPO talk | The National

Saudi Aramco dials back IPO talk | The National:

"Now that Saudi Arabia’s state oil company Aramco has taken its main asset – its oil reserves – off the table, what part of the company might it actually offer for sale to the public?

Ever since the idea of an initial public offering of shares in Aramco was floated by Mohammed bin Salman, deputy crown prince and 30-year-old son of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, in an interview with The Economist this month, Aramco officials have been busy dialling back expectations.

The latest comments came from Aramco’s chairman, Khalid Al Falih, who took the air out of all the excited talk of a “multitrillion-dollar” flotation, although still leaving it vague what assets might actually be up for sale."
