It held monopolies then. After a partial privatisation in the early 2000s, STC remains 70% owned by the Saudi government, with the remainder owned by "domestic investors (16.4%), the Public Pension Fund (6.6%) and the General Organisation for Social Insurance (7.0%)".[1] To say that it's not partnership with the Saudi government is a little misleading. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, but surely you can understand that there is interest in what exactly the terms of this partnership are.
