Oman unlocks RO 11 billion to power final phase of 10th plan
Muscat: Oman's Ministry of Economy has revealed that total development allocations under the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) reached RO 11.009 billion by the end of March 2025.
This reflects a 72% increase compared to the initial allocation of RO 6.414 billion when the plan was launched.
The rise in development spending is part of a broader national effort to stimulate growth and support Oman Vision 2040. According to the ministry's performance report, the increase was driven by four main policy priorities.
First, the government has strengthened investment in social development projects and programmes, aiming to improve citizens' quality of life. Second, funding has been directed toward economic diversification, with new initiatives supporting sectors beyond oil and gas.
Third, the government is focusing on governorate-level development to reduce regional disparities and ensure more balanced economic progress.
Fourth, significant efforts have been made to improve the investment environment, attracting both local and foreign investors.
The Ministry of Economy stated that the additional funding supports national infrastructure, job creation, and the long-term sustainability of the economy.
The Tenth Five-Year Plan remains a key instrument for realising the strategic objectives of Oman Vision 2040.
This surge in allocations highlights the Sultanate's commitment to economic transformation and inclusive development across all regions.

Oman's first solar-powered community launched
AL KHABOURAH: In a landmark development, the initial phase of Oman's first eco-friendly residential community was launched here on Wednesday for families affected by Cyclone Shaheen in Al Batinah North Governorate. The launch was held under the auspices of Dr Khalfan bin Said al Shueili, Minister of Housing and Urban Planning, and Dr Laila bint Ahmed al Najjar, Minister of Social Development. Developed by local charity association Dar Al Atta'a, the neighbourhood dubbed as Hay Al Atta'a (Al Atta'a Neighbourhood), is located in San'aa Bani Ghafir, Wilayat of Al Khabourah. The eco-friendly integrated neighbourhood, spanning an area of 1,000 m2, will include 36 solar-powered residential units, a community centre, commercial shops and a mosque. It is the result of collaboration between the association, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, the Office of the Governor of Al Batinah North, and the Municipality of Al Khabourah, with support from the local community. Speaking to the Observer, Founder and Chairperson of Dar Al Atta'a Association, Maryam bint Issa al Zadjaliyah, shared that the initiative was born in the aftermath of Cyclone Shaheen in 2021. Oman's first solar-powered community launched 'The idea for Hay Atta'a emerged in the wake of Cyclone Shaheen. In response, the association launched a fundraising campaign through which we were able to collect RO 1 million. As an organisation, we always strive to develop sustainable projects. Rather than providing short-term aid like food or furnishings, we envisioned a long-lasting solution — to build permanent homes for families severely impacted by the cyclone, especially those who lacked the means to rebuild on their own,' she said. Significantly, the use of green energy is the most significant feature of the neighbourhood, said the Chairperson of Dar Al Atta'a Association. 'Without a doubt, the most significant is the use of green energy. It reduces residents' electricity costs, and if they generate a surplus, they can sell it back to the government. This approach hasn't been implemented in this area before, so it's an exciting innovation.' In addition to solar power, the neighbourhood is also equipped with a sustainable wastewater management system, designed to reduce and recycle water use. When asked why the association opted to build an eco-friendly neighbourhood, instead of conventional housing, she emphasised that the project's goal was to introduce a new model for sustainable, community-centred living. 'As an association, we always strive to remain attuned to current developments. With this project, our goal extended beyond sustainability — we wanted to create a lifestyle, a holistic way of living.' The first phase of the project witnessed the inauguration of 36 eco-friendly residential units, each spanning an area of approximately 272m2. The five-bedroom homes are equipped with 48 solar panels each. According to officials, residents are expected to occupy the units soon. The second phase of the project, which is currently under development, will include a community centre, commercial shops and a mosque. It is expected to be ready within two years.

Reviving Sur's commercial identity requires urgent overhaul
Sur, once a vibrant commercial centre along Oman's eastern coast, is losing its economic character. Decades of unregulated growth, poor zoning, and scattered investments have blurred the town's identity, weakening its appeal to investors, businesses, and residents. In the 1980s and 1990s, Old Sur Market and nearby districts such as Harat Al-Teenah and Jabal Al-Eid thrived with retail shops, showrooms, and trade activity. But the momentum has slowed. Commercial sprawl has replaced strategic planning. The result: oversupply, disorganised business activity, and a lack of functional zoning. The root of the problem lies in years of unchecked issuance of residential-commercial land titles, leading to a flood of retail outlets across both main and internal roads. This has inflated supply, caused overlap in business types, and undermined efforts to build a cohesive commercial ecosystem. Today, car washes operate next to restaurants, barbers, clinics, and salons in the same building—confusing for consumers and damaging to the area's economic image. A ROADMAP FOR RENEWAL To restore Sur's economic position and align with Oman Vision 2040's emphasis on local development, the following actions are essential: 1. Establish a commercial corridor: A structured commercial zone should extend from the Sur Industrial Area to Old Sur Market, passing through key areas including Harat Al-Noor, Jabal Al-Eid, Harat Al-Teenah, and Sur Club. This axis should anchor major commercial activity and guide future development. 2. Create a unified economic identity: Commercial activities must be aligned with zoning priorities. Large and medium-sized businesses should be grouped together. Mixed-use buildings should avoid housing unrelated services—such as car washes, food outlets, and salons—in the same premises. Visual coherence and business compatibility are key. 3. Upgrade infrastructure: Adequate parking is lacking in busy areas like Harat Al-Teenah, where banking and service centres cluster. Flooding during rain disrupts commercial movement due to poor drainage. Planned upgrades to parking, access roads, and water management are urgently needed. 4. Zone activities by scale and function: Not all business types belong on main roads. Small-scale or secondary enterprises should operate within internal neighbourhoods, while high-traffic roads should host anchor tenants and investment-ready companies. This ensures sustainability and investor confidence. 5. Revive Old Sur Market: The historic market can be transformed into a cultural and economic destination. New small and medium businesses, artisan markets, and themed areas—such as a Gold Souq or Travel District—can attract footfall and restore its relevance. Models like 'Souq Al Hareem' show how defined identity supports commercial success. 6. Form a dedicated planning task force: A professional team should oversee commercial regulation and support property owners. Many, such as those in Harat Al-Teenah, have faced years-long delays in resolving basic planning issues. The task force should streamline permits, resolve grievances, and foster public-private cooperation. A VISION 20240 IMPERATIVE Reviving Sur's commercial core is not just a local concern—it is a national one. As Oman prioritises governorate-level development under Vision 2040, towns like Sur must build competitive, structured economies. A cohesive commercial front, functioning infrastructure, and vibrant markets are critical assets. It is time to move from unplanned expansion to strategic renewal. With the right vision and coordination, Sur can reclaim its place as a thriving commercial hub. Mohammed bin Issa al Balushi The author is a Media Consultant specialising in economic affairs
