#Business: Deteriorating Finances

The world’s largest oil exporter wants to raise at least $10 billion this week from bonds due in five, 10 and 30 years, people familiar with the plans have said.

Officials including Minister of State Mohammed Al Sheikh promised investors to prioritize an economic transformation plan regardless of where the oil price goes, according to two attendees of the London leg of the roadshow.
