Aramco's potential SABIC deal to impact IPO timing: CEO on Arabiya TV | Reuters

Aramco's potential SABIC deal to impact IPO timing: CEO on Arabiya TV | Reuters:

Saudi Aramco’s IPO-ARMO.SE potential acquisition of a stake in Saudi petrochemicals maker SABIC 2010.SE would affect the time frame of its own planned initial public offering, Aramco’s chief executive Amin Nasser said in a television interview on Friday.

Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television cited Nasser as saying that buying a stake in a petrochemicals company would make the state oil giant less vulnerable to price volatility.

 Aramco said on Thursday it is looking to buy a strategic stake in SABIC, a move that could boost the state oil giant’s market valuation ahead of a planned IPO.
