La "Saudita Arabian Oil Company", o Saudita Aramco, és la companyia
petroliera més gran del món. Creada per decret llei en 1988, és la successora de
la "Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco)".
"Saudita Aramco" té les oficines centrals en Dhahran, a la costa est
d'Aràbia. La companyia controla gairebé la totalitat de les empreses
d'hidrocarburs del país.
Saudi Aramco's
mission, as an integrated international oil company, is to engage in all
activities related to the oil industry on a commercial basis and for profit.
Saudi Arabia exports more crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) than any
other country, almost all of it through Saudi Aramco facilities on the Arabian
Gulf and Red Sea coasts.
In 2000, the Central Department of Statistics' Demographic Survey put the
population of the Kingdom at 20.8 million. Of the Saudi national
population, 54.3% are male and 45.7% female. Currently, it is estimated that
almost half the Saudi population is under the age of 20.
The most distinguishing feature of the Saudi Arabian economy is the extent to
which formal planning has determined the direction of the economy. Although the
Kingdom's main source of revenue remains oil, great efforts have been made to
diversify the economy, to reduce dependence on oil revenues.
The Government, through the public sector, plays a major role in the
Kingdom's industrial activity but, in recent years, the private sector has, with
the Government's encouragement under the Kingdom's system of free enterprise,
become increasingly involved in and responsible for industrial development and
diversification.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the biggest free economic market in the Middle
East. It acquires 25% of gross national Arab product and has the biggest oil
reserve in the world (25%). Saudi Arabia is the most ideal environment for
projects depending on energy consumption because it provides energy for
investment projects with the least prices at global level. In addition, there
are many natural resources in mining that are supported by the geographical
location of the Kingdom making them of easy access to European, Asian and
African markets. Saudi market has a high purchasing power and of continuing
expansion.
The Saudi Riyal is one of the most stable currencies in the world.
There was no significant change in its exchange value during the last 3 decades.
There are no restrictions on foreign currency exchange and outgoing money
transfers. Inflation rates in Saudi Arabia are very low and the Kingdom is
endeavoring to sign bilateral agreements with an increasing number of countries
regarding investment encouragement, protection and arrangement of taxation
issues.
