石油设备网讯 据彭博社4月9日报道，继去年被华尔街和国际投资者冷落之后，沙特阿拉伯在周二强势回归，石油巨头沙特阿美公司收到了850亿美元的巨额订单，这是该公司首次发行全球债券。
该订单可能是新兴市场有史以来规模最大的订单，是沙特阿美预期融资100亿至150亿美元的许多倍。在一些发达国家债券利率为负的情况下，这表明投资者对收益率的渴望。
伦敦阿伯丁资产管理公司驻伦敦的基金经理Anthony Simond 表示：“这笔交易做得非常好。公司吸引了多种类型的投资者。首先是新兴市场债券基金，其次是全球投资级投资者。”
债券出售在很大程度上被视为是为沙特经济议程筹集资金的B计划。此前，沙特阿美的首次公开发行从最初的2018年目标推迟至至少2021年。

Aramco Gets $85B Demand for Maiden Bond
After being shunned by Wall Street and international investors last year, Saudi Arabia made a roaring comeback on Tuesday as oil giant Aramco received a blockbuster $85 billion in orders for its maiden global bond.
The order book is likely to be the largest ever seen in emerging markets, covering many times the $10 billion to $15 billion Aramco is expected to raise. It’s a sign of investors’ hunger for yield in a world where bonds from some developed nations have negative interest rates.
"This deal should do extremely well," said Anthony Simond, a fund manager at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc in London. "The company appeals to more than one type of investor. Firstly emerging market debt funds and secondly global investment grade investors."
The bond sale is largely seen as Plan B to raise money for the kingdom’s economic agenda after the initial public offering of Aramco was postponed until at least 2021 from an initial 2018 target.
