Aramco listing reshapes Saudi Arabia's OPEC oil policy

Aramco listing reshapes Saudi Arabia's OPEC oil policy:

"Saudi Arabia’s plans to float state oil titan Aramco are prompting the country to think the unthinkable.

Late last year, Saudi Arabia tried to get fellow oil producers around the world to agree to reduce production. Before an OPEC meeting in Vienna in November, Saudi officials were armed with an unprecedented bargaining chip: if there was no deal, the kingdom would quit the exporter group altogether.

The strategy was approved at the highest level of the Saudi government, said sources familiar with the matter."
