Saudi oil giant Aramco on May 15 posted its highest profits since its initial public offering in 2019 as global gas and oil prices continue to surge in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The world’s largest oil exporter disclosed in its first-quarter 2022 results that it has made $39.5 billion in earnings in the first quarter of 2022, an 83 percent rise year on year, boosted by increased demand and sharply rising prices.
