The global forum provides an ideal platform to showcase promising investment opportunities in the Sultanate of Oman, aligning with Oman Vision 2040's goals of economic diversification and sustainable growth. This involves presenting an investment paper highlighting opportunities in the Sultanate of Oman. Additionally, our participation includes the allocation of an Omani corner to exhibit the competitive advantages of the Sultanate, aiming to attract potential investors and decision-makers from around the world, emphasized H.E. Al Faroojiyah.

“Asyad has established a robust global network that seamlessly connects Omani ports with major commercial hubs worldwide. Additionally, we have led the transformation of Oman’s free and economic zones into global investment destinations. In 2023 alone, these zones, under the group's management, attracted over one billion Omani Rials in foreign direct investment,” Al Balushi elaborated.
