沙特能源部改组以强化石油政策重点

据国民报9月1日报道称，随着油价跌破盈亏平衡水平，沙特阿拉伯已将其庞大的能源、工业和矿业部门一分为二，以便加大对原油的关注。

在工业和矿业部从其投资组合中剥离出来之后，沙特能源部长哈立德·法利赫将有更多的时间来平衡石油市场。

自2016年以来，法利赫一直掌管着这个庞大的投资组合，直到上周五王室宣布重组。

过去三年来，在欧佩克一直试图对抗美国页岩油涌入市场之际，他一直是该组织外交政策的代言人。

迪拜国民银行商品分析师爱德华 贝尔表示，石油部的改组不会改变石油政策，因为沙特仍然专注于控制产量以平衡原油市场并推高油价。

国际货币基金组织（IMF）和彭博社的研究显示，该国需要原油交易价格接近每桶80美元以平衡其预算。布伦特原油上周五收于每桶约60美元。

它还必须通过合作来吸引数千亿美元的外国投资，以扩大其新业务。

法利赫一直是沙特吸引外国合作伙伴的代表，他领导的工业投资计划旨在为沙特经济注入近5000亿美元。

贝尔表示，将这些责任移交给新的工业和矿产资源部长Bandar Al Khorayef，可能有助于加快吸引矿业投资的努力。

Mr Al Falih had been the face of Saudi efforts to bring in foreign partners by leading industrial investment initiatives meant to bring almost $500 billion into the economy.

Handing those responsibilities to new Industry and Mineral Resources Minister, Bandar Al Khorayef, may help to speed up efforts to attract investments in mining, Mr Bell said.
