Saudi Arabia ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Saudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. It possesses about 16% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of the private sector in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation, telecommunications, natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Over 6 million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly focused on employing its large youth population, which generally lacks the education and technical skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has substantially boosted spending on job training and education, most recently with the opening of the King Abdallah University of Science and Technology - Saudi Arabia's first co-educational university. As part of its effort to attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia acceded to the WTO in 2005. The government has begun establishing six "economic cities" in different regions of the country to promote foreign investment and plans to spend $373 billion between 2010 and 2014 on social development and infrastructure projects to advance Saudi Arabia's economic development.

OPERATIONS

 

Activities: Engaged in the import and export of refined petroleum products.

 

Subject represents Saudi Aramco's interest in sales and purchases of refined petroleum products such as condensates, naphtha, gasoline, middle distillate fuels, fuel oil nd residual products and bulk petrochemical products.

 

Subject has agreed to sell undisclosed volumes of the fuel at a premium of about $2.70 a barrel above Middle East quotes for the cargoes, to be loaded from Jubail. That is nearly 30 per cent higher than its current term contracts. Royal Dutch Shell is the likely buyer, although this could not immediately be confirmed.
  
Aramco is still negotiating the sale of term cargoes to be loaded from the Red Sea port of Rabigh, and may finalise these by year-end.

 

The company was offering either 45,000-tonne or 65,000-tonne cargo lots for loading from Jubail and

Rabigh, with a half-yearly term instead of its usual yearly term.

 

Traders were surprised at the premium finalised for Saudi's jet fuel term, which they said was too high at 15 to 20 percent more than those agreed by other Middle Eastern refiners.

 

Import Countries: Europe and the Far East.

 

Subject has a workforce of 80 employees.
