Investors in Saudi Arabia and across the world are keeping an eye out on Saudi Aramco’s announcement of its long-awaited initial public offering (IPO).
Regardless of its size, Saudi Aramco’s IPO will likely be the world’s largest offering, and is expected to exceed Alibaba's 2014 IPO worth $21.77 billion.
In Saudi Arabia, the state energy firm’s public offering is forecast to top National Commercial Bank’s (NCB) SAR 22.5 billion IPO in Oct. 2014.
The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) witnessed several large offerings (whether IPOs, rights issues or secondary offerings) led by NCB in 2014, Riyad Bank’s offering in 2008, Alinma Bank’s IPO in 2008 and Saudi Telecom Co.’s IPO in 2003 (STC).
