據美國彭博新聞社7月7日報道，世界上最大的石油公司沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司(沙特阿美Saudi Aramco)正計劃通過出售其更多業務的股份來籌集數十億美元的現金。

　　去年，在疫情大流行引發能源價格暴跌、資產負債表緊張之后不久，這家沙特國有石油巨頭成立了一個新的團隊來評估其資產。 今年4月，沙特阿美通過向以美國為首的一批投資者出售輸油管道租賃權籌集了124億美元。

　　據沙特阿美企業發展高級副總裁Abdulaziz Al guudaimi所說，未來幾年，這種資產股份銷售還將繼續。

　　Al Gudaimi在接受媒體記者采訪時表示，“無論市場狀況如何，這些交易都將發生，沙特阿美的目標是創造數百億美元的收入”。

　　Al Gudaimi 對記者說：“這是一種旨在創造價值和創造效率的戰略，而不是一個特定的資本目標或為公司的股息籌措資金?！?/p>

　　Saudi Aramco looks to raise billions with more asset sales

　　The world’s largest oil company, Saudi Aramco, is planning to raise tens of billions of dollars by selling more stakes in its businesses.

　　The Saudi Arabian state-controlled firm created a new team to review its assets last year, soon after the coronavirus pandemic triggered a plunge in energy prices and strained its balance sheet. Aramco raised $12.4 billion by selling leasing rights over oil pipelines to a U.S.-led group of investors in April.

　　The sales will continue in the next few years, according to Abdulaziz Al Gudaimi, senior vice president for corporate development.

　　They will happen “irrespective of any market conditions” and Aramco aims to generate “double-digit billions of dollars,” Al Gudaimi said in an interview. “It’s a strategy meant to create value and create efficiency, it’s not about a specific capital target or financing the dividends of the company.”
