Ahli Bank halts merger talks, revives OMR 50m capital plan

MUSCAT: Ahli Bank SAOG has announced the postponement of its proposed merger with Sohar International Bank SAOG due to a lack of necessary regulatory approvals, the lender disclosed in a market statement on Sunday. The Board of Directors of Ahli Bank resolved to suspend further discussions with Sohar International until further notice. The merger proposal, initially announced in April 2025, was part of a broader consolidation trend in Oman's banking sector aimed at improving operational scale and competitiveness. 'In light of this development,' the bank stated, 'and in alignment with the Bank's capital planning objectives, the Board has also resolved to proceed with a capital increase through a rights issue of OMR 50 million.' This capital raise, previously announced and later suspended due to the merger talks, is now being revived. Ahli Bank confirmed it will undertake all necessary steps to implement the rights issue, including seeking required regulatory approvals. The bank reiterated its commitment to transparency, stating: 'Ahli Bank will continue to disclose any material developments to the market in accordance with applicable laws and disclosure regulations.'

Omani industrial exports to Saudi Arabia increase by 28.3%

Muscat: Omani industrial exports recorded an 8.6% growth in the first quarter of 2025, reaching OMR 1.618 billion, compared to OMR 1.490 billion during the same period in 2024. According to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information in May 2025, Omani industrial exports have expanded significantly across various regional markets, reflecting the growing presence of Omani industries on the regional trade map. Notably, Saudi Arabia's imports of Omani industrial products surged by 28.3%, reaching OMR 259 million, reaffirming the strong economic ties between the two nations and the increasing demand for Omani goods in the Saudi market. Nusra bint Sultan Al-Habsi, Director-General of Trade at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion, highlighted that the accelerated trade exchange between Oman and Saudi Arabia is a direct result of ongoing cooperation, underscoring the deepening economic integration across various sectors. She explained that the Economic, Trade, and Industry Committee of the Omani-Saudi Coordination Council has worked consistently since its inception to address trade exchange challenges, unify customs procedures, and facilitate land transportation through border crossings. Additionally, it has focused on linking commercial systems electronically between the two countries, enabling the seamless flow of goods and services while enhancing trade movement through the Rub' Al Khali border, which has become a vital new artery for commerce between the two nations. Speaking to Oman News Agency (ONA), she revealed that the committee is currently working on various initiatives, including cooperation in intellectual property, e-commerce, anti-monopoly regulations, and export development between Oman and Saudi Arabia. Efforts are also underway to strengthen industrial and investment partnerships through regular meetings between the private sectors of both countries and the organization of joint economic forums, focusing on promising opportunities in manufacturing industries, renewable energy, supply chains, and food security. She further noted that Saudi Arabia is now Oman's second-largest GCC trade partner, with future aspirations pointing toward deeper industrial and trade integration. Oman welcomes more Saudi investments, particularly in special economic zones and free zones, which offer advanced infrastructure and competitive investment incentives, fostering greater collaboration in alignment with the strategic objectives of Oman Vision 2040 and Saudi Vision 2030. Meanwhile, Mazin bin Hamid Al-Siyabi, Assistant Director-General of Industry at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion, emphasized that recent months have witnessed growing momentum in coordination and engagement between industrial sector officials in both nations. This has been evident in a series of meetings, exchange visits, specialized workshops, and direct engagements between investors and entrepreneurs. Speaking to ONA, he stated that these efforts have expanded areas of industrial cooperation, particularly in priority sectors such as manufacturing, advanced technologies, and supply chains, while helping to identify promising investment opportunities and develop joint industrial initiatives aimed at enhancing competitiveness and localizing technical expertise, thereby reinforcing industrial integration between Oman and Saudi Arabia. He pointed out that this new dynamic in industrial relations reflects the alignment of visions between the two nations. The shared focus on industrial sector development as a pillar for economic diversification has proven to be a successful strategy, with its impact now visible in the growth of Omani industrial exports to Saudi Arabia and other regional markets. Al Siyabi concluded that the accelerated growth of Omani industrial exports in recent months serves as a tangible indicator of the success of industrial policies pursued by the ministry. These policies prioritize export market diversification, improved production efficiency, enhanced competitiveness of Omani products, and the achievement of economic diversification goals, fostering a resilient industrial base capable of adapting to global shifts.

Oman surpasses food security targets as consumption hits RO 3 billion

Muscat: Oman has made significant strides in enhancing food self-sufficiency, with domestic production now meeting — and in some cases exceeding — household demand across several key food categories. The progress comes as annual food consumption by Omani households surpasses OMR 3 billion, according to new data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI). Dr Yusuf bin Mohammed Al Riyami, Director General of the NCSI, stated that the Sultanate has achieved high levels of self-reliance in essential food products, reflecting the success of national policies aimed at improving food security and reducing dependency on imports. Among the top-performing sectors, fish production reached 158% self-sufficiency, indicating not only that local demand is being met but also that Oman holds surplus capacity to support fish exports. Dates — a culturally and economically significant product — achieved 97% self-sufficiency, further cementing their place as a core component of Oman's food system. Milk and dairy products also performed strongly, reaching 92% self-sufficiency, thanks to continued investment in the livestock sector and food manufacturing infrastructure. Meanwhile, tomatoes — a key staple in local diets — recorded 83% self-sufficiency, driven by improvements in domestic agricultural output and the adoption of modern farming practices. These figures underline Oman's growing capacity to meet its own food needs, in line with the goals set under Vision 2040, which prioritises national resilience, economic diversification, and sustainable development. Officials credit government-led programmes in agri-tech, irrigation, and rural infrastructure as major drivers of this performance. As the food sector continues to expand, Oman's focus will remain on maintaining high production standards, improving supply chain efficiency, and supporting agricultural innovation — all of which are essential to building a secure and competitive food economy for the future.
