中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年10月25日利雅得报道，公共投资基金(PIF)是沙特的主权财富基金，该基金总裁Yasir Al-Rumayyan周二在接受彭博社记者采访时表示，沙特财富基金可能很快就会宣布出售其在沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）中持有4%的股份，这4%股份目前价值约850亿美元。
Al-Rumayyan表示，投资者和分析师应“继续关注”有关PIF可能减持沙特阿美股份的消息。以产量和市值计算，沙特阿美是全球最大的石油公司。
今年年初，沙特政府将沙特阿美4%的股份转让给了沙特PIF，以提高其信用评级和财务状况。
今年2月，沙特王储萨勒曼表示：“这一转移是沙特阿拉伯支持经济重组的长期战略的一部分，符合2030年愿景。”
沙特通讯社当时援引萨勒曼王储的话报道称：“这些股票将在中期内巩固基金强劲的财务状况和较高的信用评级，因为PIF的融资策略依赖于其资产价值和管理资产的回报率。”
到2025年底前，PIF管理的资产规模将从5000亿美元增加到1万亿美元以上，此次股票注入是这一努力的一部分。转让的股份当时价值约800亿美元。
截至今年第一季度末，PIF管理的资产价值已达到6200亿美元。
同时也是沙特阿美董事会主席的Al-Rumayyan在接受彭博社记者采访时表示，沙特阿美尚未决定其交易部门上市的时间。
彭博社上周援引了解相关计划的消息人士的话报道称，沙特阿美计划在今年年底或2023年初将能源交易部门上市。 据彭博社消息人士称，这个部门估值可能超过300亿美元。

Saudi Wealth Fund Teases The Sale Of Its $85-Billion Aramco Stake
The Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, could soon have an announcement about a possible sale of part of its 4% stake in Saudi Aramco, which is currently worth around $85 billion, the governor of the fund, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, told Bloomberg in an interview on Tuesday.
Al-Rumayyan said that investors and analysts should “stay tuned” for news on the fund potentially selling down its stake in the state oil giant, which is the world’s largest oil company by production and market value.
At the beginning of this year, the Saudi government transferred a 4% stake in Aramco to the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund to boost its credit rating and financial position.
“The transfer is part of the Kingdom’s long-term strategy to support the restructuring of its economy, in line with Vision 2030,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in February.
“The shares will bolster the Fund’s strong financial position and high credit ratings in the medium term, as the PIF relies on the value of its assets and the returns on its Assets under Management for its funding strategy,” the Crown Prince was quoted as saying by the Saudi Press Agency at the time.
The share injection was part of efforts to boost the Public Investment Fund’s assets under management from $500 billion to over $1 trillion by the end of 2025. The transferred stake was worth some $80 billion at the time.
As of the end of the first quarter of 2022, the PIF had assets under management worth $620 billion.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Al-Rumayyan, who is also chairman of Aramco’s board of directors, said today that the oil giant has yet to determine the timing of the listing of its trading unit.
Last week, Bloomberg reported, citing sources with knowledge of the plans, that Aramco was aiming to list the energy trading unit at the end of this year or in early 2023. The unit could be valued at over $30 billion, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
