“Under this deal, SABIC will be able to outsource banking facilities to finance part of its expansion projects and future investments,” a statement on the firm’s Web site said.

SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corp.), the largest capitalised firm on the Saudi bourse, says it has total current expansion projects valued at between $25 and $29 billion.

SABIC, the world’s most profitable petrochemical firm, has in recent years looked at investing in China’s fast-expanding petrochemical sector but has yet to land a concrete deal. Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the firm’s headquarters in Riyadh last month.
