Oman’s Investment Sector Drives Regional Growth: Key Opportunities for Investors and Entrepreneurs
MUSCAT: Oman’s investment sector is increasingly central to the nation’s economic diversification under Oman Vision 2040, driven by fiscal reforms, the mobilisation of private capital, and cross-border partnerships. A new video titled “How Oman and Ominvest Drive Sustainable Growth Beyond Oil,” produced by Oxford Business Group (OBG) in collaboration with Oman International Development and Investment Company (Ominvest), highlights Oman’s efforts to strengthen its economic foundation and establish itself as a key player in regional growth.
The video showcases Oman’s significant progress in reducing its dependence on hydrocarbons over the past decade. This achievement is supported by policy frameworks such as the Five-Year Strategy and the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan, which have contributed to lowering public debt from nearly 70% of GDP to under 34%, restoring the country’s investment-grade status, and directing resources toward infrastructure development, private sector growth, and job creation.
Emerging sectors including tourism, logistics, mining, fisheries, and green hydrogen—fully aligned with Oman Vision 2040—are emphasized. The video also highlights Ominvest’s role in domestic investment and its expanding presence in high-growth regional markets, notably Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
With a focus on sustainability, governance, and innovation, Ominvest is actively fostering cross-border partnerships, investing in market-connecting platforms, and supporting key sectors such as finance, insurance, and technology. This reflects a wider transformation among Gulf investment institutions, which are increasingly influential in shaping industries and promoting regional integration.
Dana Carmen Agarbicean, OBG’s Country Director for Oman, stated, “Oman’s investment sector is emerging as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth and diversification. By combining fiscal discipline with a forward-looking investment strategy, the country is creating opportunities for the private sector and reinforcing its position in the regional economy.”
The Growth Perspectives video is available online at oxfordbusinessgroup.com/videos, providing in-depth insights into Oman’s evolving investment landscape and Ominvest’s pivotal role in supporting economic diversification and regional collaboration.
