According to the publication, last year the Saudi Arabian government transferred an additional 8% of Aramco shares worth $164 billion to the State Fund investment.
“The decrease in earnings compared to the prior year can be explained by lower crude oil prices and sales volumes, as well as lower refining and chemicals margins, partially offset by lower production royalties during the year and lower taxes “Aramco said.
Total revenue also fell 17% to $440.88 billion compared with $535.19 billion in the previous year.
