Its history is tied to the era of economic liberalization and globalization, with many nations establishing such dedicated ministries in the late 20th and early 21st centuries to streamline regulations and attract capital for economic development.
Saudi Aramco
Saudi Aramco is the state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia and the world’s largest integrated oil and gas corporation. It originated from an oil concession agreement signed with the American company Standard Oil of California in 1933, leading to the discovery of vast oil reserves. The Saudi government gradually acquired full ownership of the company, completing the process in 1980.
