法利赫：沙特阿美IPO可能推遲到2019年
中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國彭博新聞社3月8日倫敦報道，沙特阿拉伯能源大臣哈立德·法利赫8日在倫敦接受媒體記者采訪時暗示，沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司（沙特阿美）的首次公開募股（IPO）可能會推遲到2019年。
法利赫還說，可能是有史以來最大的IPO將通過在沙特阿拉伯當(dāng)?shù)刈C券交易所上市“錨定”，而任何國際上市將會在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候?qū)ν庑肌?/p>
法利赫在采訪中說：“12月31日上市和1月1日上市之間對沙特阿拉伯王國來說沒有任何價值損失。因此，我不認(rèn)為你們（記者）提到的這個人為最后期限很重要?！?/p>
直到最近，沙特政府官員堅持IPO將“如期”在2018年進(jìn)行，但是，今年兩個月已經(jīng)過去，這個截止日期看起來更難滿足。盡管如此，同時擔(dān)任沙特阿美董事長的法利赫堅稱沙特阿美已為世界最大石油生產(chǎn)公司的股份出售做好了所有必要的準(zhǔn)備工作。

Saudi oil minister says Aramco IPO could be delayed to 2019
Saudi Arabia’s energy minister hinted the initial public offering of the state oil company Aramco could be delayed until 2019.
Khalid Al-Falih also said the IPO, potentially the largest ever, would be “anchored” by a listing on Saudi Arabia’s local exchange and any international listing would be announced in due course, if at all.
“Between December 31st and January 1st there is no value lost for the kingdom,” Al-Falih said in an interview in London. “So, I don’t see this artificial deadline that you refer to as being significant.”
Until recently, Saudi officials insisted the IPO was “on track, on time” for 2018, but two months into the year that deadline is looking harder to meet. Still, Al-Falih, who also serves as Aramco’s chairman, insisted the company had made all the necessary preparations for a share sale of the world’s largest oil producer.
