Oman, Hong Kong explore deeper investment ties
Muscat – The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) welcomed a high-level delegation from Hong Kong on Sunday, aiming to strengthen economic cooperation and explore fresh investment opportunities.
The visit highlighted the growing interest of Hong Kong in Oman's expanding investment landscape, bringing together representatives from sectors including consulting, venture capital, digital asset management and financial technology.
The delegation engaged with several Omani government entities, focusing on collaboration in startup financing, digital asset management, knowledge exchange, and the creation of new investment channels in line with the development goals of both sides.
H E Ibtisam bint Ahmed al Farooji, Undersecretary for Investment Promotion at MoCIIP, said the visit reflects the strong economic ties between Oman and Hong Kong.
'Oman is keen to build international partnerships in sectors of mutual interest, in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040,' she said. 'We aim to attract high-quality, value-added investments that contribute to economic diversification.'
King Leung, Head of the Delegation and Global Head of Financial Services, FinTech, and Sustainability at Invest Hong Kong, highlighted the strategic relationship between the two sides. 'There is an increasing interest from Hong Kong investors in Oman's emerging sectors, particularly in digital and technology-driven industries,' he said, noting that Oman's appeal as a regional and international investment hub is strengthened by its strategic location and stable economic environment.
As one of the world's leading financial centres, Hong Kong plays a critical role in global capital flows, serving as a bridge between Chinese markets and the international economy.
