a giant by somebody way sions it's worth nearly as much as. microsoft put together . accounts for 70 percent of all the revenue for saudi arabia as well so it's hugely important to the economy too so what does this i.p.o. mean then for the energy market where we need to see who buys the shares that's one thing because if you give us a look into into iran come to see how it works if they do open it up more widely internationally climate campaigners right now are talking about you know having less fossil fuel and separating fossil fuel from money so in some ways this moves towards. towards things like. the opposite direction basically and they've constantly bottled efforts to cut carbon emissions so it's going to see more of a focus on fossil fuels rather than less so in terms of the overall energy market in some ways it's going to a different direction from what we've been looking for before and so is that what's behind the saudi arabia idea of diversifying its economy away from oil well i think

one of the things that they've talked about that prince mohammed bin solomon has always said is that they eventually do need to get out of oil they've got maybe 70 years of oil left in saudi arabia so they're thinking about a post oil world and as i've said you know 70 percent of the revenue comes from oil so they're looking at things like. they're looking at tourism in a big way there's been a lot of efforts recently to promote tourism and they're looking at manufacturing renewable energy growth and focus on small or medium sized enterprises so they're basically looking for any other way and you know the way to generate revenue we've seen places like the emirates they've bought football teams i can see months usually in the emirates airlines and things about having seen as much of that coming from saudi arabia so they've got a lot of pressure on them too they're feeling a lot of pressure not to diversify they do actually have 10 percent unemployment too so it's this over reliance on oil even though it's a very very rich country and they've still got a lot of issues economically that they need to do it so well to take in they will
