The Aramco’s earning is however, before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization Fitch said on Monday. Aramco, as a fully state owned company’s ratings are in line with the credit rating of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom has managed its resources by playing close to its chest, which many tried to pry into. Credit experts say Aramco could outweigh its international peers, but most of its assets are in Saudi Arabia and it is tightly linked to Saudi Arabia’s economic policies until recently.
Is Aramco’s perceived mystery over? An investment banker, Matthew R. Simmons, in his book, Twilight in the Desert, published in 2005, tried without success to unravel what appeared like a mystification of Saudi oil. Simmons in that publication, believed to have been culled information from technical papers presented to the Society of Petroleum Engineers about Aramco almost portrayed the extremities of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields.
Saudi Aramco has an extremely strong liquidity position, Moody’s said. As of the end of 2018, it had $48.8 billion in cash against $27 billion in reported debt. At the end of 2018, Aramco’s cash balances exceeded its balance-sheet debt, Fitch said.
The Saudis are determined to reinforce and diversify the capabilities of their economy, by transforming Aramco from an oil producing company into a global industrial conglomerate. Perhaps the Vision 2030 of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon, MBS may be doing the magic. His vision is to transform the Public Investment Fund into the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund and encourage major corporations to expand across borders and in global markets.
