Saudi Basic Industries Corp (Sabic) posted a fourth-quarter net loss of SR720 million ($192 million), compared to a profit of SR3.22 billion ($857.90 million) during the same quarter a year earlier, said a report.
The first quarterly loss in over a decade was due to lower average selling prices and a writedown at an affiliate, added the Reuters report.
Sabic CEO Yousef Al-Benyan said a slowdown in economic growth, particularly in China and Europe, had weighed on the petrochemicals industry.
