DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi Aramco has chosen HSBC and Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) to coordinate talks with other banks for a loan of about $10 billion the oil giant plans to raise, sources said.
迪拜/倫敦（路透社）-消息人士稱，為尋求籌集約100億美元的貸款，石油巨頭沙特阿美已選擇匯豐銀行和日本三井住友銀行以協調與其他銀行的談判。
The jumbo financing would help the company back its acquisition of a 70% stake in Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, a deal worth almost $70 billion, sources told Reuters last week.
消息人士上週告訴路透社，這筆鉅額融資將支持該公司從沙特公共投資基金收購沙特基礎工業公司70%的股份，這筆交易價值近700億美元。
Aramco did not comment on the banks choice but said it continues to review its financial options “as part of its normal course of business, while prudently preserving its pristine balance sheet and its resilience.”
阿美公司未對其選擇該兩家銀行發表評論，但表示將繼續審查其財務選擇，“作為其正常業務的一部分，同時謹慎地保留其原始資產負債表和彈性。”
HSBC declined to comment and SMBC could not be immediately reached for comment.
匯豐銀行拒絕對此置評，目前無法取得三井住友銀行的置評。
