MUSCAT : The meeting marked the beginning of a series of sessions to be conducted across Oman’s governorates, aimed at enhancing the investment environment and broadening financing avenues for businesses. The initiative supports the government’s larger economic diversification agenda and Oman Vision 2040 by promoting an integrated and investor-friendly financial system.
Central to the discussions were the MSX’s new incentive packages designed to guide closed and family-run businesses toward listing on the stock exchange. The program outlined three specific tracks:
Track One targets large private and family businesses with a market value above RO 10 million, encouraging their transition to public joint-stock companies.
Track Two introduces the Promising Companies Market, a sub-market for small, medium, and emerging businesses valued at RO 500,000 or more.
Track Three aims at converting limited liability companies—employing over 20 Omanis and valued above RO 500,000—into closed joint-stock companies.
The meeting also focused on government stimulus measures and their critical role in shaping the financial market’s future dynamics. By highlighting these relationships, the MSX hopes to foster a new generation of informed investors and build a more resilient capital market.
