Oman Bans Power And Water Cuts During Exams, Holidays And Night Hours
The Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) has reiterated that electricity and water services must not be disconnected during certain sensitive periods, including exam seasons, holidays and nighttime hours. According to APSR, utility disconnections are prohibited between 5pm and 7am, as well as on the last working day before weekends or official holidays. Additionally, no power or water cuts are allowed during the General Education Diploma (GED) exams and throughout the month of Ramadan, in coordination with education authorities. These regulations apply to both the electricity and water sectors, ensuring uninterrupted service for residents during crucial times for families and students. In a move to ease financial pressure on households, Oman has also reduced residential electricity bills for the summer months of May to August 2025, when demand is at its peak. Eligible residents are encouraged to register for the National Subsidy System, which provides additional support based on income and residency criteria. The announcement comes amid strong growth in the energy sector. In 2024, Oman's electricity production rose by 7.5%, reaching 45,388 gigawatt-hours by the end of November. Growth was driven by increased output in North and South Al Batinah, Al Dhahirah, and Dhofar. The electricity and water sectors contributed 2.5% to Oman's GDP in 2024, with total investments in regulated sectors reaching 2.837 billion Omani riyals from 2020 to 2024. Of this, 450 million riyals were directed toward electricity generation. Looking ahead, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts Oman's electricity consumption to grow by around 3% annually over the next three years, while APSR continues to advance renewable energy and infrastructure development.

Makkah spending up 162pc during Ramadan: Visa reports
Saudi Arabia's Holy Cities emerged as Ramadan's top economic performers, according to Visa's Travel Pulse Q1 2025, which reveals a 162% surge in visitor spend on Visa cards in Makkah during the Holy Month. The report highlights the growing role of religious tourism in supporting the Kingdom's non-oil economy, a key pillar of The Kingdom Vision 2030. From February 28 to March 30, Makkah and Madinah significantly outpaced Riyadh and Jeddah, reflecting the Holy Cities' draw of religious travel during Ramadan. In Makkah alone, average spend per visitor climbed to $449, up from $356 during the rest of the year. Madinah followed with a 64% increase in visitor spend. 'Beyond their religious significance Makkah and Madinah are also engines of economic growth,' said Ali Bailoun, Visa's Regional GM for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman. 'Our Travel Pulse data reveals that religious tourism is driving economic activity in Saudi Arabia and provides local businesses with unique insights into shopping behaviors and visitor profiles during the Holy Month.' 48% of all Ramadan visitors came from the GCC, with the UAE leading the charge: Growth also came from other regions: Kazakhstan (64%), South Africa (56%), and Egypt (19%) posted the highest increases in traveler numbers. Spending Patterns Reflect Ramadan's Rhythm Dining (27%), retail (25%) and fashion (10%) were the top spend categories. Activity peaked after Iftar, with most visitors heading to malls and restaurants. The second half of Ramadan saw higher transaction volumes, leading into Eid. Bailoun added: 'For merchants in Saudi Arabia, there's a real opportunity to reimagine how they engage with religious travelers. By extending hours during peak post-iftar times, embracing digital payments, and curating offerings that resonate with GCC and emerging market visitors, they can help turn their journey into a seamless experience—while contributing to the Kingdom's digital commerce agenda.'

Bahrain: Gulf Hotels Group Reports Q1 2025 Financial Results with BD 2.452 Million Profit
Gulf Hotels Group B.S.C. (GHG) announced a net profit of BD 2.452 million for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting an 8% year-on-year decrease from BD 2.663 million in Q1 2024. The decline was primarily attributed to seasonal challenges, notably reduced travel and hotel occupancy during Ramadan. Earnings per share for the quarter stood at 11 Fils, compared to 12 Fils in the same period last year. Despite the dip in net profit, the Group posted a 7% rise in total comprehensive income, which reached BD 2.542 million, up from BD 2.382 million in Q1 2024. Total revenue for the quarter came in at BD 8.611 million, down 4% from BD 8.983 million a year earlier. Meanwhile, the Group's total assets increased slightly to BD 113.786 million, up 0.8% from BD 112.862 million at the end of 2024. However, total equity (excluding minority interests) declined by 3% to BD 102.424 million. Commenting on the results, Group Chairman Mr. Fawzi Kanoo stated: 'The Q1 financials highlight the strength and resilience of our diversified portfolio. While Ramadan seasonally impacts hospitality activity, we remain optimistic about the sector's outlook, especially with ongoing government efforts to bolster tourism in Bahrain.' GHG CEO Mr. Ahmed Janahi echoed this sentiment, noting that occupancy rates across the market dropped from 54.2% to 52.1% compared to Q1 2024. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) also declined by 11.7% year-on-year due to lower demand and pricing pressures during the holy month. Looking ahead, Janahi said the Group expects stronger performance in Q2 and beyond, supported by major events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and Eid holidays. 'We're actively executing several strategic initiatives including integrating Gulf Hotel Bahrain into the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme, expanding our F&B offerings, and exploring regional growth opportunities,' he added.
