(Bloomberg) --Saudi Arabia is looking to emulate neighboring Abu Dhabi by using its state energy firm to raise billions of dollars from investors, as the kingdom seeks cash to counter a severe recession.
Saudi Aramco, the worldâs biggest oil company, has hired Moelis & Co. to devise a strategy for selling stakes in some subsidiaries, according to people familiar with the matter. The plan includes raising around $10 billion from a stake sale in Aramcoâs pipelines, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
