沙特阿拉伯矿业政策变化与投资环境分析

An analysis on mining policy changes and investment environment in Saudi Arabia

沙特阿拉伯境内油气、磷酸盐、铝土矿、金、铜、银、铁、铬、锌、钽、石灰石、石膏等能源及其他矿产资源十分丰富,但矿业总体开发程度较低。近年来,由于国际油价长期低位徘徊,财政收入大幅下降,沙特发布“2030愿景计划”,着力于推动经济多元化进程。通过组建新的工业和矿产资源部,发布新版矿业投资法,优化投资环境等措施吸引外资投资矿业,致力于提升矿业对沙特经济的助推作用。我国矿业企业应该充分把握沙特大力推动矿业开发的机遇期,紧密跟踪矿业政策变化,加强与当地及国际矿业公司合作,建立国际利益共同体;同时借助中国-沙特地质合作关系进一步深化的契机,优选投资项目,进入沙特矿业市场。

Saudi Arabia is rich in energy and mineral resources such as oil,natural gas,phosphate,bauxite,gold,copper,silver,iron,chromium,zinc,tantalum,limestone,and gypsum.But the mineral resource exploration level is relatively low.Due to long-term low international oil prices,there is a sharp decrease in fi scal revenue in Saudi Arabia.In order to reduce its dependence on oil and diversify its economy,Saudi government has issued"Vision 2030"strategic framework.Saudi Arabia is committed to attract foreign investment in the mining industry by establishing the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources,issuing Mining Investment Law and measures,and optimizing its investment environment.In order to fully seize this opportunity,Chinese mining companies should establish an international interest community by strengthening cooperation with local and international mining companies.Meanwhile,they should make wise investment and enter Saudi mineral market by making full use of deepening geological cooperation relationship between China and Saudi Arabia.
