Muscat: The Advantage Oman Investment Forum, organized by MoCIIP, will gather global decision-makers, business leaders, and investors to discuss the evolving investment landscape and explore emerging economic trends. The forum aims to position Oman as a top destination for foreign investment by highlighting the country’s competitive incentives and sectoral potential.

Her Excellency Ibtisam bint Ahmed Al Farooji, Undersecretary for Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, emphasized that organizing this investment forum, which attracts prominent decision-makers, leaders, businessmen, and investors from around the world and across various promising sectors, comes in light of the remarkable growth witnessed by the Sultanate of Oman in various economic and investment fields, supported by rising international indicators.

Her Excellency stated that the forum also comes at a time when the Sultanate of Oman is witnessing increasing momentum in the economic and investment sectors. The Sultanate achieved a significant increase in foreign direct investment flows estimated at 16.2 percent in the third quarter of 2024. The Sultanate’s credit rating was also raised to BBB- with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s, and the gross domestic product is expected to grow by 3.4 percent this year, outperforming the performance of many economies around the world.

Her Excellency expressed optimism that the forum would serve as a catalyst for attracting new investors and forging long-term partnerships that foster sustainable development. She highlighted the role of such events in strengthening Oman’s global investment profile and driving impactful projects across various governorates.

The forum will feature high-level discussion sessions on critical investment themes, including anticipating global business shifts, balancing risks in an evolving economy, corporate responsibility, creative leadership, and brand-building strategies.
