Service Description

The Sultanate of Oman is considered a promising investment destination in the Gulf region and is one of the leading GCC countries adopting a balanced and sustainable approach to developing its investment environment and enhancing economic diversification. Oman offers a stable economic environment, modern infrastructure, and investment-friendly legislation that encourages foreign investment.

The Omani government has placed strong emphasis on improving the business climate and diversifying national income sources under the ambitious Oman Vision 2040, which aims to build a competitive, diversified, innovation- and knowledge-based economy that attracts both local and foreign investments. The vision targets the development of key sectors such as tourism, logistics, manufacturing, technology, renewable energy, and mining.

Oman also enjoys a strategic geographic location at the crossroads of global trade, overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Arabian Gulf. This positioning provides a vital commercial gateway to Gulf markets, East Africa, and South Asia, making Oman a key logistics hub for investors seeking regional and global expansion opportunities.
