Saudi Arabia plans to sell up to 49% of its oil giant Saudi Aramco within 10 years as the world`s largest crude exporter tries to lower its deficit, local media said on Saturday.

The Al-Eqtisadiah daily quoted an unnamed official as saying the sale would raise funds to be spent "at home and abroad" in what is expected to form the world`s largest state investment fund. 

The kingdom is looking to diversify its oil-dependent economy and has already announced cutbacks after its 2015 deficit snowballed to $97 billion (93 billion euros).

The initial public offering (IPO) for state-owned Aramco could take place in 2018 and an initial sale of a 5% share is expected to form the basis for the fund holding around $2 trillion in assets. 

The firm will next year begin publishing quarterly results in a bid to attract potential investors, Aramco chief Amin Nasser has said.

Riyadh earlier this month agreed to slash its oil production beyond cuts agreed among Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members, giving crude prices a lift.

They remain at around half of their mid-2014 levels.
