Exports drive Oman's economic growth
SUHAR:Omani products are gaining a stronger foothold in international markets, with recent figures showing steady growth in exports and rising global demand. North Al Batinah, with its strategic location and world-class logistics facilities, is emerging as a driving force in this momentum. At a recent forum organized by the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), North Al Batinah branch, business leaders, government officials, and logistics experts gathered to discuss how ports and maritime shipping can unlock greater opportunities for national exports. The event underscored Sohar Port and Freezone's role as a gateway to global markets and a pillar of Oman's trade competitiveness. Eng. Saeed al Abri, Chairman of OCCI North Al Batinah, highlighted the significance of the sector, noting: 'Maritime shipping is the backbone of global trade. By investing in logistics efficiency and international partnerships, Oman can ensure its products reach more markets and compete on a larger scale.' He further pointed to the Oman-U.S. Free Trade Agreement as a golden opportunity, offering customs exemptions and facilitating stronger entry for Omani goods into one of the world's most lucrative markets. According to the latest data, Oman's non-oil exports reached RO 1.618 billion in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 8.6% compared to the same period in 2024. By the end of last year, exports stood at RO 23 billion, marking a 10% growth from 2023. This positive trend continued into 2025, with exports valued at RO 10.683 billion by mid-year. Business leaders, government officials, and logistics experts gathered to discuss how ports and maritime shipping can unlock greater opportunities for national exports. North Al Batinah itself reported remarkable progress, with exports climbing to RO 676 million , a 37% increase while container traffic through Sohar Port grew by 15% in 2024. The forum in North Al Batinah was notable not only for its high-level discussions but also for the strong turnout of entrepreneurs, business owners, and representatives of various companies and institutions. Their presence reflected a growing awareness within the community about the importance of exports and logistics in strengthening the national economy. For many entrepreneurs, the gathering offered a valuable opportunity to learn how Omani products can expand into global markets and how small and medium enterprises can benefit from improved shipping and trade facilities. Participants from larger companies emphasized that meetings of this kind are essential for building stronger partnerships between the public and private sectors. They noted that by working together, businesses and institutions can play a vital role in boosting Oman's competitiveness and ensuring that the benefits of trade extend across different segments of society. The involvement of logistics and shipping firms further highlighted how closely connected infrastructure and trade are. Their contributions underscored the readiness of the sector to support exporters and create an environment that allows Omani goods to move more efficiently to international markets. Overall, the diverse participation at the forum demonstrated how collective engagement and rising awareness can accelerate efforts to achieve sustainable economic growth in the Sultanate. The forum concluded with a call for greater integration between government entities, logistics providers, and exporters, to strengthen Oman's global presence and cement its role as a competitive player in international trade.

From souq bargaining to mobile taps: rethinking money in Oman
Mobile wallets are reshaping how Omanis spend, but only financial literacy can ensure this transformation leads to empowerment, not risk. Oman's cashless era is here. Mobile wallets are transforming how people shop, save, and send money from the souq to their smartphones. However, as transactions become faster and easier, the real question is whether financial literacy can keep pace with this convenience. It begins with a tap: no coins, no banknotes, no receipt, just a quiet confirmation tone from your phone. The transaction is over before you've even registered for it. Oman's cashless era is not approaching; it is here. According to the Central Bank of Oman, mobile payment transactions surged from 4.9 million in 2022 to 40 million in 2023, a dramatic 700 percent leap valued at approximately RO 1.44 billion. That surge was only the beginning. Today, mobile wallets are widely used for everyday needs, from paying utility bills and sending remittances to, increasingly, small purchases in places like Muttrah's markets. This shift is not just technological; it is psychological. When money moves without changing hands, spending can feel less tangible. The 'cashless effect,' identified by behavioral economists, shows that people are more likely to spend when the payment process is frictionless. A seamless tap replaces the tactile pause of handing over banknotes or scanning. That ease is attractive, but it can quietly erode financial discipline. Frequent small purchases, made without thought, can accumulate into a larger financial burden by month's end. Culturally, the change is visible in the souqs. Bargaining in Muttrah or Nizwa has always been about more than price; it is a social ritual, built on the rhythm of conversation and the physical exchange of notes. Mobile wallets, with their quiet efficiency, alter that rhythm. The act of counting cash, a moment when both buyer and seller reflect on value, is being replaced by an instant transfer. The tradition of negotiation remains, but the texture of the exchange feels different in a world where money is invisible. Younger generations, raised in a digital-first world, are often the most enthusiastic adopters. But their comfort with technology does not always translate into sound money management. A recent study of rural Omani millennials found that trust, perceived security, and confidence with technology strongly shape attitudes toward mobile wallet use, reinforcing the need to combine adoption with targeted education. Older generations, too, face adjustments as they move away from familiar cash-based systems toward digital platforms that require new habits and security awareness. Yet the technology that enables overspending can also strengthen financial control if used consciously. Modern mobile wallets offer real-time transaction alerts, automated expense categorization, monthly summaries, and savings goal trackers. Many users are discovering that these features can act as a personal finance dashboard in their pocket. But awareness is key: a tool is only as effective as the person using it. Without the literacy to interpret and respond to the information provided, these functions remain untapped potential. Financial literacy in this context means more than knowing how to pay. It is the ability to set realistic budgets, track spending, plan for savings, and safeguard funds from fraud. It includes security practices such as enabling biometric authentication, recognizing phishing scams, and avoiding insecure networks for transactions. In many Omani households, money management has long been a family affair. Savings were often pooled for weddings, home building, or education, while remittances from abroad played a crucial role in supporting relatives. Mobile wallets now facilitate such transfers faster and more seamlessly, but they also alter the psychology of saving. What once required visible discipline — envelopes of cash set aside, or trips to remittance counters can now be handled instantly with a few clicks. That convenience is powerful, but it also risks reducing the sense of deliberation that once shaped collective financial choices. Industry research into small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Oman has revealed that while mobile payments can enhance efficiency, challenges such as high transaction fees and authentication issues still deter some businesses. These findings highlight an important lesson: financial literacy is not only for consumers, but also for the entire economic ecosystem, ensuring that all participants can effectively and sustainably adopt digital tools. Oman's Vision 2040 places digital transformation at the heart of national progress, and the rise of mobile wallets fits squarely within this agenda. The next step is aligning this digital leap with a parallel leap in capability. Educational institutions can integrate digital budgeting into curricula, using anonymized mobile payment data to teach real-world financial skills. Fintech companies can embed prompts and insights into their apps, encouraging users to review spending patterns and set goals. Public campaigns can help normalize financial planning as a necessary part of digital life, rather than an optional extra. Trust is central to sustained adoption. Users must believe their money and personal data are secure. This requires clear communication about fees, robust data protection policies, and visible measures to prevent fraud. Service providers who combine technological efficiency with customer education are building not just client bases, but long-term confidence in the digital financial system. The responsibility is shared. Fintech innovators must design systems that encourage positive financial behaviors. Regulators must ensure that rapid innovation is matched by strong consumer protection and literacy initiatives. Individuals must recognize that while digital payments make spending easier, they do not make money limitless. When these elements align, mobile wallets can be more than a payment method; they can be a driver of personal empowerment and national economic resilience. The speed of change presents both promise and risk. Technology adoption occurs quickly; developing the habits of using it wisely takes time. Oman is advancing rapidly toward a fully cashless environment, but the question is whether the country will also become fully literate in managing money in that environment. The danger is not in technology itself, but in the gap between capability and convenience. The cashless present is shaping the future. Each tap is more than a purchase; it is a choice, a habit in the making, and a small step in one direction or another. Technology will not make that choice for us. It will only make our chosen path easier to follow, whether it leads toward financial confidence or financial vulnerability. The opportunity before Oman is to ensure that this transformation is not just about speed and efficiency, but about building a society prepared to thrive in a world where money moves invisibly, but consequences remain very real.

Duqm Airport - Ras Markaz dual carriageway project launched
MUSCAT: The Special Economic Zone at Duqm has inaugurated traffic on the dual-carriageway project linking Duqm Airport roundabout with the crude oil storage tanks of Oman Tank Terminal Company in Ras Markaz. The 51km project constitutes a vital new artery that strengthens Duqm's position as a global hub for investment and logistics. The dual-carriageway extends 42.9 kilometers with two lanes in each direction, supported by a secondary road network measuring 11.5 kilometers, including side roundabout entrances and airport access roads. The project connects the oil tanks in Ras Markaz with Duqm Airport, running alongside the Green Industries Zone and several major projects under development. It also links to the road leading to Dhahr village and the strategic road to Salalah. This integration enhances the connectivity of vital facilities and serves various strategic projects in the southern part of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. Eng Abdullah bin Salem Al-Hakamani, Director of the Technical Affairs Department at the Special Economic Zone at Duqm, said the opening of the RO 57.6 million project represents a qualitative leap in Duqm's infrastructure development, as it facilitates movement between key facilities, connects the airport with energy and industrial projects, and enhances the zone's attractiveness to investors. Al-Hakamani noted that the dual-carriageway will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm regionally and internationally, thanks to infrastructure capable of accommodating rapid investment growth and supporting logistics supply chains, which are a cornerstone for attracting investments in the energy, petrochemical, and support service sectors. Meanwhile, Eng. Saif bin Saeed Al-Amri, Project Engineer at Oman Company for the Development of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Tatweer), stated that the project scope included the installation of a modern lighting network equipped with an intelligent control and management system, connected to advanced electrical grids. It also involved constructing culverts for rainwater drainage along the road, ensuring the sustainability of the infrastructure and the safety of traffic under various weather conditions. A portion of the project's value was also allocated to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enhancing the participation of national companies in major projects, and supporting the local economy, in addition to creating direct and indirect job opportunities for national talent. Thus, the project is not merely strategic infrastructure but also a developmental driver contributing to advancing economic and social development.
