Riyadh – Mubasher: The CEO of the Japan Exchange Group, Akira Kiyota has expressed interest in listing some of Saudi Aramco's stocks as part of the company's initial public offering (IPO) on the Japanese bourse, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
This statement came during a meeting between Kiyota and Saudi Arabia's deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh on Wednesday.
The meeting also tackled means of cooperation and investment opportunities, SPA reported.
In April 2016, the deputy crown prince stated that Saudi Aramco will launch an IPO sometime in 2017 or 2018.
KSA's energy and mineral resources minister Khalid Al-Falih stated last month that the first tranche of Aramco's IPO will amount to around $2 trillion and will be the most transport IPO in the world.
Saudi Aramco is the world's largest state-run oil company.
