Saudi Aramco is likely to list its shares simultaneously on more than one exchange but this is still under evaluation, Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Thursday.
Asked by reporters if Aramco would list first on the Saudi bourse and then on another exchange abroad, Falih said: “It will probably be done concurrently, but we have not announced. We are evaluating. All our options are open.”
The planned listing next year of up to 5 percent of Aramco, expected to be the world’s biggest initial public offer of shares, is a centrepiece of the Saudi government’s plan to diversify the economy beyond oil.
