Financial Services Investment
Investing in Oman's developing financial sector — Bank Muscat equity, capital market deepening (OQEP follow-on, REIT development), Islamic finance growth, and fintech.
Foreign Investment Law — Oman
Oman's Foreign Capital Investment Law (Royal Decree 50/2019) and its amendments allow 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, with exceptions for strategic industries. OPAZ one-stop-shop and the Investment and Commercial Court (2025) improve the investment environment.
Free Zone and SEZ Regulations — Oman
Oman's OPAZ-regulated economic zones (Duqm SEZ, Salalah Free Zone, Sohar Free Zone, Al Mazunah) offer 100% foreign ownership, 25-30 year tax holidays, duty-free imports, and simplified licensing — the primary vehicles for industrial FDI attraction.

Oman Sovereign Debt — The Fixed Income Opportunity
Oman's improved sovereign credit rating trajectory, fiscal surplus position, and declining debt/GDP create a compelling sovereign bond investment thesis for emerging market fixed income investors.
OPAZ — Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones
OPAZ oversees Oman's Special Economic Zones and Free Zones — including Duqm SEZ, Salalah Free Zone, Sohar Free Zone, and Al Mazunah Free Zone — as the primary investment promotion authority for industrial and trade facilitation.
PPP and Privatisation Framework — Oman
Oman's Public-Private Partnership law and privatisation programme are central to Vision 2040's private sector development — enabling private investment in infrastructure, utilities, and government services while unlocking state asset value through partial IPOs.
