DUBAI - State oil giant Saudi Aramco’s profit plunged 73% in the second quarter of the year, as a slump in energy demand and prices due to the coronavirus crisis hit sales at the world’s biggest oil exporter.
All major oil companies have taken a hit in the second quarter as lockdowns to contain the coronavirus limited travel, which reduced oil consumption and sent prices tumbling to levels not seen in nearly two decades. “Look at China, their gasoline and diesel demand is almost at pre-COVID 19 levels. We are seeing that Asia is picking up and other markets ,” he told reporters after announcing the company’s quarterly results.Nasser said Aramco was committed to its 2020 dividend.The group’s dividends play a critical role in helping the Saudi government to manage its fiscal deficit.
Analysts had expected net profit of 31.3 billion riyals, according to the mean estimate from three analysts, provided by Refinitiv. Aramco said it will pay a dividend of $18.75 billion for the second quarter of this year, in line with plans for a $75 billion dividend for 2020.BP earlier this month cut its dividend for the first time in a decade after a record second-quarter loss, while Royal Dutch Shell in April cut its dividend for the first time since World War Two.

Why Pakistan blames Saudi Arabia and the OIC for Kashmir setbackAngered by Indian belligerence, Islamabad wants Muslims countries to do more in highlighting the plight of Kashmiri Muslims. Experts say, however, its own response is lacking. Also UAE. Saudi playing double game. The only way to Kashmir's liberation from Hindu Saffron Zionists oppression is through sharp, dark cold steel. Rest of the options have failed and will always fail. It is 'Banya' mentality that they are either at your feet or at your throat. History 101 muslim rule in India.
