原标题：欧盟监管机构批准沙特阿美收购萨比克

中国石化新闻网讯 据石化新闻2020年3月1日迪拜报道，沙特证券交易所（Tadawul）3月1日在利雅得表示，世界最大的原油出口公司沙特阿美日前获得了欧盟监管机构欧盟委员会(European Commission)的批准，将以690亿美元价格收购沙特阿拉伯化工巨头沙特基础工业公司(萨比克/Saudi Basic Industries Corp.) 的70%股份。

从沙特阿拉伯的公共投资基金（PIF）购买的这70%股份将为PIF提供现金，并帮助沙特阿美扩大其下游业务。沙特能源大臣阿卜杜勒-阿齐兹?本?萨勒曼上周在沙特阿美的一次会议上表示：“我们不再是单纯的石油和天然气行业。电力、化工、石化、原油、炼油等行业都被考虑为能源行业，这就是为什么沙特阿美将成为沙特政府在萨比克中持有股份的所有者的原因。”

根据Tadawul的公告，这笔交易现在已经根据反垄断规则获得了所有必要的批准，并能够最终敲定。

石化产品占到萨比克的大部分业务。萨比克还生产金属和农业营养素，在美洲、欧洲、亚洲和非洲都建有分厂。
