Oman: Ministerial delegation reviews projects in Oman's Dakhliyah
Led by H E Dr Said bin Mohammed al Saqri, Minister of Economy, and Eng Badr bin Salem al Maamari, Secretary-General of the Tender Board, the delegation toured key sites including Dakhliyah Boulevard, the Integrated Public Transport Station, Nizwa Public Park, the main entrance to Nizwa and tourism projects in Jabal Akhdar.
Sheikh Hilal bin Saeed al Hajri, Governor of Dakhliyah, said the visit would help ensure smooth implementation of ongoing projects. He called for coordination among stakeholders to improve delivery, raise performance standards and leverage the governorate's natural and cultural assets to drive local economic growth.
'Public-private partnerships are essential to developing sustainable infrastructure,' he said, adding that the governorate is working to foster a business-friendly environment that attracts investment and creates employment opportunities.
During the visit, officials presented updates on progress and reviewed key social and economic indicators. Saeed bin Rashid al Qutbi, Director General of Social Sectors at the Ministry of Economy, highlighted strategic initiatives including the Omani Mountain Destination and various heritage and tourism projects.
He noted that Dakhliyah is emerging as a key economic and tourism hub, with a 15.5% rise in heritage site visitors recorded in 2023. Between 2021 and 2023, 68 projects were completed at a cost of over RO18.68mn. A further 27 proposals were submitted in 2024 for implementation.

UK factories report new downturn and weak outlook, CBI says
British manufacturers have suffered a fresh setback with orders falling heavily in the three months to August and further weakness expected ahead, according to a survey published on Thursday by the Confederation of British Industry. The CBI's monthly balance for manufacturing new orders slipped to -33 in August from -30 in July, taking them back to June's low which was the weakest since the start of 2025. A gauge of output expected over the next three months slipped to -13 from -6, the lowest since May, adding to the sense of gloom over the sector which has been the uncertainty caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tensions as well as a tax hike at home. "Manufacturers report that rising costs are squeezing margins and leaving customers more cautious, which in turn is hitting orders and weighing on output," CBI Lead Economist Ben Jones said. "With weak demand compounded by trade frictions and policy uncertainty, the outlook for UK manufacturers remains challenging," Jones said. Firms' expectations for the prices they charge fell to their weakest since October last year. Earlier on Thursday, a separate monthly survey also showed a fall in new orders and overall activity in the manufacturing sector, in contrast to an improvement for services firms.

Qatar's economic growth forecast at 4.8% in 2026
Doha, Qatar: Qatar's economy is showing signs of renewed strength heading into the second half of 2025, with Cushman & Wakefield highlighting resilience in non-energy sectors and steady progress in reforms underpinning real estate and tourism. The report released this week by the research platform points to an upgraded GDP forecast of 2.7 percent this year, up 0.3 percentage points from earlier estimates, with growth expected to accelerate to 4.8 percent in 2026. The adjustment reflects stronger-than-expected first-quarter (Q1) performance, when the economy expanded 3.7 percent year-on-year (YOY), driven largely by wholesale trade, retail, accommodation, and food services. However, high-frequency indicators suggest momentum was carried into the second quarter (Q2). The June Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 52, a three-month high, lifting the Q2 average to 51.2 from 51.1 in Q1. 'The PMI signals continued expansion in private sector activity, despite some cooling in new orders,' Cushman & Wakefield stated. Employment growth has been particularly notable, with the latest Labour Force Survey showing a 2.8 percent annual increase in Q1 headcount, marking one of the strongest hiring periods on record. Oxford Economics, meanwhile, has revised its fiscal projections, still expecting Qatar to post a budget surplus this year but scaling it back to QR15bn (1.8 percent of GDP) from QR23bn previously. Second-quarter budget data revealed a second consecutive deficit, totalling QR1.3bn in H1, as spending rose 5.7 percent YOY due to higher wages and project outlays, offsetting stable revenues buoyed by hydrocarbons. On prices, Oxford Economics cut its 2025 inflation forecast by 0.6 percentage points to 0.4 percent, citing subdued consumer demand and weaker price pressures across most of the CPI basket. Market experts at the entity affirmed that, 'Inflation in Qatar is among the lowest in the region, which supports purchasing power and business confidence. This gives policymakers breathing room to align with global monetary trends without stifling growth.' Energy prospects are equally robust, with Qatar's LNG expansion on track to lift capacity to 142 million tonnes per year by 2030. First output from the North Field East project is slated for mid-2026, reinforcing Qatar's long-term role as a global gas supplier. On the other hand, tourism and infrastructure remain central to the non-energy sector. Tourist arrivals rose 3 percent YOY in H1 to 2.6 million, according to Qatar Tourism, with hotel occupancy steady at 71 percent. Investment momentum also continues, including GCC-backed projects abroad such as the $1bn Alam El Roum development in Egypt, part of a wider $7.5bn regional plan. Meanwhile, real estate regulation advanced this year as Aqarat activated provisions of Law No. 6 of 2014 in April, while in July, the Ministry of Justice issued executive regulations for Law No. 5 of 2024 on property registration. Market experts see these steps as critical for aligning the sector with Qatar National Vision 2030. Analysts note that Qatar's combination of fiscal discipline, structural reforms, and targeted investment is keeping growth on a stable path while the balance between energy expansion and non-energy diversification makes the outlook particularly resilient. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution.

CPA Australia proposes policy ideas to support Hong Kong's long-term competitiveness
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2025 - As Hong Kong continues to navigate global economic shifts and rapid technological transformation, CPA Australia has today submitted a series of recommendations to the Hong Kong Government for the Policy Address 2025 consultation. As one of the world's largest professional accounting bodies, CPA Australia has outlined proposed measures across five key areas: Reinforcing Hong Kong's role as an international financial centre Developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology (I&T) hub Promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) and the green economy Diversifying the economy Developing, attracting and retaining talent. Ms Karina Wong, Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said: "Amid the uncertainties created by trade frictions with major economies, Hong Kong has demonstrated its unique advantages as a strategic gateway connecting mainland China and the world. We need to amplify our competitiveness to secure the city's long-term economic vitality, for example, the free port status and unrivalled business environment." CPA Australia recommends the HKSAR Government considers introducing a Qualified Refundable Tax Credit (QRTC) scheme for multi-national enterprises in the maritime services and commodity trading sectors. A QRTC provides a more flexible and effective incentive structure that can help to boost these sectors. "A QRTC would allow Hong Kong to better compete for multinational investment and reinforce its position as a premier international trade centre and shipping centre," Ms Wong said. "We also propose expanding the scope of the half-rate tax concessionary regime for commodity trading to include the captive commodities traders serving group companies outside Hong Kong and include the financial commodity transactions, such as derivatives trading." Low-altitude economy is another area that CPA Australia supports to diversify the economy, for its potential to transform logistics, mobility, and urban planning. Ms Wong added: "Hong Kong can lead in low-altitude innovation by establishing demonstration zones, collaborating with the Greater Bay Area on cross-border channels, and attracting global talent to this emerging sector. With strong research capabilities and a growing commitment to innovation and technology implementation – evidenced by the establishment of government-led Regulatory Sandbox pilot projects, Hong Kong is well-positioned to translate innovation into practical applications." An efficient and effective government process to deliver public services, and a green environment for sustainable development are crucial factors to do business, as well as to attract enterprises and investments to Hong Kong. Therefore, CPA Australia proposes a suite of initiatives including the promotion of a robust e-government framework. Mr Cyrus Cheung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025 said: "We suggest the Government considers modernising operations and implements a 'tell us once' compliance model for individual and business data access in a secure and convenient manner. For example, we propose introducing legislation to allow data sharing across relevant and approved government agencies, and to establish an integrated platform that enhances data management across governmental departments. To simplify the processes of public services, we also suggest the Government reduces its reliance on in-person authentication where appropriate, and consolidates government services onto a single platform, such as iAM Smart, which allows online authentication across different services." Mr Cheung also emphasised the importance of sustainable development in shaping Hong Kong's future. He called for better alignment of the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance with the international standards to attract investment in green projects. "Energy policy is core in our sustainability goals. The taxonomy should reflect the role of various forms of low-carbon energy in supporting Hong Kong's transition to a net-zero economy," he said. "We also encourage the government to develop a standardised carbon trading framework and explore the Carbon Connect initiative to strengthen Hong Kong's leadership position in green finance." Hong Kong's sound financial system and free flow of capital continue to underpin strong investment inflows, and the city is poised to return to its position as the world's top IPO market in 2025, Mr Kelvin Leung, Deputy Divisional President of CPA Australia in Greater China 2025, said. "Despite global uncertainties and trade tensions, Hong Kong's capital market remained resilient, drawing more family offices to setup in the city and reinforcing its role as a preferred venue for fund raisings. "Investors choose Hong Kong for investment and wealth management because we are globally connected, rule-of-law based and responsive to market needs. We should be more proactive in promoting Hong Kong as a dual listing destination for overseas companies, and we encourage the Government and relevant regulators to explore the feasibility of an "IPO Connect" mechanism, to meet growing mainland investor demand for access to global assets." To increase private market liquidity, CPA Australia suggests piloting an intermittent trading facility for private companies in a controlled environment. "This would offer growth-stage companies a stepping stone toward future public listings, supported by clear eligibility, proportionate disclosure and robust settlement safeguards,," Leung said. Mr Leung also highlighted opportunities in digital assets, "It is a notable step for Hong Kong to launch the 'LEAP' framework to develop a trusted and innovative digital-assets ecosystem. We welcome the Government's move to promote the responsible expansion of stablecoins under a fit-for-purpose regulatory regime. The Government should also consider a clear roadmap for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation that balances innovation with strong investor protection." CPA Australia has also proposed recommendations on strengthening SME cybersecurity such as to launch a CyberSafe SME Subsidy Programme and introduce a CyberSafe HK certification. We also suggest initiatives such as increasing maternity and paternity leave similar to other developed economies, to attract and retain talent.
