Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, is expected to launch its long-awaited initial public offering within two years, an Arab newspaper reported, citing comments from Khalid A. Al-Falih, the minister of energy, industry and mineral resources.
The minister made his comments during a visit to the headquarters of Saudi Aramco’s headquarters on Wednesday, according to a report by the Okaz newspaper.
