and run around co avoid publicity as far as possible its shares will only be listed on the riyadh stock exchange there are questions about just how large its sighted reserves really are not to mention the uncertainty around oil prices and a move towards renewables crown prince mohammed bin simon wants to reduce his country's reliance on oil revenues from around close i.p.o. will be used to accelerate the pivot towards the tourist industry and to ramp up development of renewable energy by colleague spoke earlier today with middle east expert from the institute in homburg he asked why iran has choosing now to go public. they hope that the i.p.o. can help around cohen his international isolation strutted sheet crew closer into the linkage between oil production and refining in petrochemical production and expansion of export business most notably to asia and of course an i.p.o.
