Aramco IPO to help Saudi economy shift from oil: finance minister

RIYADH: Saudi Aramco's listing will boost the kingdom's efforts to diversify from oil as the bulk of proceeds will be injected in domestic projects, while the global buzz surrounding the deal will help lure foreign capital, the finance minister said.

"The proceeds will be used largely, maybe not totally, in the local economy, in projects where the PIF will be the first mover which then basically pulls more private sector participation ... so the money will remain in the system mostly," Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan told Reuters. The listing should in the long term help deepen Saudi capital markets and lure foreign investment, Jadaan said.
