3 Global economic news Saudi Arabia lowers income tax for Saudi Aramco from 85 to 50 percent Saudi Arabia decreased the tax rate paid by a state oil producer as a step to prepare the company for IPO. Saudi Arabia plans to sell five percent of the company next year in IPO, as the kingdom estimates could value the business at about $2trl. Reducing the income tax would free up billions of dollars of cash flow that Saudi Aramco could pass on as higher dividend payments, that is the crucial step for attracting investors. Saudi Aramco s crude reserves are estimated at about 260 billion barrels. Currently company s oilfields produce more than 10m barrels a day, which should satisfy potential investors.
