Pressure on #Saudi families complicates Aramco IPO | Financial Times

Pressure on Saudi families complicates Aramco IPO | Financial Times:

Even before last weekend’s devastating attack at the heart of the Saudi energy industry, the kingdom was trying to raise cash to fund the transformation of its economy.

A stock market listing for Saudi Aramco has long been seen as the centrepiece of Prince Mohammed’s vision, with proceeds to be funnelled into sectors beyond oil that will propel the kingdom’s economy into the future.
