Capital Market Authority (CMA)
Oman's Capital Market Authority regulates the securities market, insurance sector, and mortgage finance — overseeing the Muscat Stock Exchange and implementing capital market development reforms aligned with Vision 2040's financial deepening goals.
Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX)
The Muscat Stock Exchange is Oman's primary securities exchange — listing approximately 110-120 equities, government sukuk, and corporate bonds. The 2024 OQEP IPO was transformative, making MSX a more significant regional exchange.
OQEP IPO (2024)
The OQ Exploration and Production (OQEP) IPO in 2024 was Oman's largest-ever equity listing — raising OMR 975 million (~$2.5bn) and transforming Muscat Stock Exchange's market capitalisation.
