中国石化新闻网讯 据中东北非财经新闻2023年4月16日报道，沙特阿拉伯国家媒体4月16日报道称，沙特阿拉伯已经把沙特阿拉伯能源巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）价值数百亿美元的第二批4%的股份归于本国主权财富基金管理。

此举凸显了萨勒曼王储在其“2030愿景”国内改革议程下，利用沙特阿拉伯庞大的能源资源开放经济的努力。

沙特阿拉伯官方通讯社说，这些股份已被转移到沙特公共投资基金(PIF)控制的萨纳比尔投资公司。PIF是世界上最大的主权财富基金之一，拥有超过6200亿美元的资产。

去年，沙特阿美4%的股份(当时估计价值800亿美元)被直接转让给了PIF。

根据世界上最有价值公司之一的沙特阿美目前市值，最新的股票价值近800亿美元。

沙特国家媒体报道称萨勒曼王储表示，转让国家在沙特阿美的部分股份，是沙特阿拉伯推动国民经济增长和多元化、扩大投资机会的长期举措的延续。

“此次股份转让还将巩固PIF强大的财务状况和信用评级”，萨勒曼王储补充说，并指出利雅得仍拥有沙特阿美90%的股份。

根据其网站，萨纳比尔投资公司的投资“包括风险投资、增长资本和小规模收购”。

2019年12月，沙特阿美在沙特证交所出售了1.7%的股份，创造了294亿美元的全球最大首次公开募股（IPO）。

沙特阿美去年公布的利润总额达到创纪录的1611亿美元，沙特阿美承诺到2050年前实现“运营净零”碳排放。

这适用于沙特阿美工业基地直接产生的排放，但不包括客户在汽车、发电厂和熔炉中燃烧沙特产出的原油时所产生的二氧化碳。

沙特阿美首席执行官纳瑟尔和其他沙特阿美高级官员同时呼吁进一步投资化石燃料，以确保全球能源安全。

PIF引人注目的投资了包括优步和迪士尼在内的公司以及其所谓的巨大项目——穆罕默德王储改革议程的核心——包括Neom，一个正在沙特沙漠中建设的价值5000亿美元的未来大都市。

王储表示，他希望该基金到2025年底前拥有1万亿美元的资产。

Saudi Arabia Transfers More Aramco Oil Shares To Wealth Fund

Saudi Arabia has put a second four-per cent chunk of shares of the Aramco energy giant, worth tens of billions of dollars, under the control of the country"s sovereign wealth fund, state media said Sunday.

The move underscores Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman"s campaign to use the kingdom"s vast energy resources to open up the economy under his "Vision 2030" domestic reform agenda.

The official Saudi Press Agency said the shares had been transferred to Sanabil Investments, a firm controlled by the kingdom"s Public Investment Fund (PIF), one of the world"s biggest sovereign wealth funds with more than $620 billion in assets.

Last year, four per cent of Aramco shares, estimated at the time to be worth $80 billion, were transferred directly to PIF.

The latest shares are worth nearly $80 billion, based on the current market capitalisation of Aramco, one of the world"s most valuable companies.

Prince Mohammed "indicated that the transfer of part of the state"s shares in Saudi Aramco is a continuation of Saudi Arabia"s long-term initiatives to boost and diversify the national economy and expand investment opportunities," the report said.

"The transfer will also solidify PIF"s strong financial position and credit rating," it added, noting Riyadh still owns 90 per cent of Aramco"s shares.

Sanabil"s investments "include venture, growth capital and small buyouts", according to its website.

Aramco sold 1.7 per cent of its shares on the Saudi bourse in December 2019, generating $29.4 billion in the world"s biggest initial public offering.

The firm, which reported record profits totalling $161.1 billion last year, has pledged to achieve "operational net-zero" carbon emissions by 2050.

That applies to emissions that are produced directly by Aramco"s industrial sites, but not the CO2 produced when clients burn Saudi oil in their cars, power plants and furnaces.

Aramco CEO Amin Nasser and other top Saudi officials have simultaneously called for further investment in fossil fuels to ensure global energy security.

The PIF has made high-profile investments in firms including Uber and Disney, and its so-called giga-projects -- centrepieces of Prince Mohammed"s reform agenda -- include Neom, a $500 billion futuristic megacity under construction in the Saudi desert.

The crown prince has said he wants the fund to have one trillion dollars in assets by the end of 2025.
