Porsche Centre Oman signs a two-year partnership with OAA
'We are proud to sponsor a project that aligns with our legacy of motorsport excellence,' said Mohamed A R Qassim, Director of Porsche Centre Oman.
The championship series is distinct in that it will consist of classes to cater for both race license holders and leisure karting participants. Porsche Centre Oman will provide full branding, racing suits and financial support for licensed drivers and cash prizes to the podium winners.
'Supporting the next generation of drivers is key to Porsche Centre Oman's vision in the region and this partnership reflects our commitment to youth development and motorsport innovation in the Sultanate of Oman,' said Mohamed.
The calendar season will also include a 24-hour endurance race along with other races scheduled to be taking place at the Muscat Speedway, starting with the first round of races in September.
'This new championship series for both licensed racers in Rotax Max and leisure karts marks a new era for karting in Oman,' said Sulaiman al Rawahi, Managing Director of the Oman Automobile Association (OAA).
'Partnering with Porsche Centre Oman allows us to elevate the level of competition and offer new opportunities for aspiring drivers across the country.'
With the partnership running through until the third quarter of 2027, Porsche Centre Oman will provide financial prizes, and equipment such as branded race suits, while a new Instagram channel will also be launched to promote the upcoming series.
Supporting youth sports and building engagement within the community has long been a cornerstone of Porsche Centre Oman's philosophy. The opportunity to support the burgeoning motorsport industry and empower future generations of Omani race drivers starting at grassroots levels made an alignment with the Oman Automobile Association a natural alliance. Porsche has a long history of supporting motor racing in the Middle East with the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East being the pinnacle, showcasing 15 seasons of competition across the Gulf. Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East provides the ultimate inspiration for future Omani stars who can now begin their climb up the professional motor racing ladder on leisure karts and then the Rotax Max Challenge as part of the the Porsche Centre Oman Karting Championship Series.

Moody's upgrades Oman's credit rating to Baa3 with stable outlook, citing improved debt metrics
Moody's Ratings has elevated Oman's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Baa3 from Ba1, while also adjusting the outlook to stable from positive. This upgrade signals expectations that Oman's government debt metrics will stay robust, even if oil prices dip below Moody's medium-term assumption of $65 per barrel. The rating agency highlighted the significant reduction in the debt burden over recent years and the cumulative impact of spending restraint as key factors enhancing Oman's resilience to potential future declines in oil demand and prices. At the close of 2024, Oman's government debt burden fell to 35.5 percent of GDP, down from 37.5 percent at the end of 2023, marking a continuation of the improvement trend since 2020. Moody's anticipates that most of Oman's debt ratios will keep improving in the upcoming years, albeit at a more modest pace than observed over the past four years. A stronger debt position grants the government greater fiscal space and time to implement structural reforms aimed at reducing the country's heavy economic and fiscal reliance on the hydrocarbon sector. Balancing fiscal risks Government expenditure has decreased to less than 29 percent of GDP in 2024, down from an average of over 41 percent during the period from 2016 to 2020. This spending restraint has consequently lowered Oman's fiscal breakeven oil price to under $70 per barrel for 2024-2025, compared to an average exceeding $84 per barrel in 2016-2020. The stable outlook strikes a balance against fiscal risks across various oil price scenarios. Upside risks are primarily linked to regional geopolitical tensions that could push oil prices higher, while downside risks involve the potential for an accelerated global carbon transition, which may lead to weakened hydrocarbon revenue. Additionally, Moody's raised Oman's local currency and foreign currency country ceilings to A3 from Baa1 and to Baa1 from Baa2, respectively. The rating agency remarked that Oman's credit profile remains vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices due to its economic and fiscal reliance on hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbon sector contributed, on average, around 34 percent of GDP, 56 percent of exports, and 76 percent of government revenue during the period from 2020 to 2024. Long-term economic reforms In terms of longer-term upside potential, ongoing fiscal and economic reforms are noteworthy, including plans to introduce a 5 percent personal income tax by 2028, develop a large green hydrogen sector, and expand liquefied natural gas production capacity by a third by 2030. Oman's economy exhibited a consistent growth rate of 2.5 percent in real GDP by the conclusion of Q1 2025, reaching OMR9.43 billion ($24.52 billion) at market prices—an increase from OMR9.2 billion during the same timeframe in 2024, as reported by Oman's National Centre for Statistics and Information. This uptick in GDP was primarily driven by robust performance in non-oil sectors, which experienced a 4.4 percent increase in added value, climbing to OMR6.92 billion compared to OMR6.63 billion in Q1 2024. Oil activities faced a slight decline of 0.4 percent, contributing OMR2.92 billion in Q1 2025, down from OMR2.94 billion the previous year. Crude oil production decreased by 2.2 percent to OMR2.45 billion, while natural gas production emerged as a positive factor, soaring by 9.5 percent to OMR475.3 million.

In its 2024 Article IV consultation, the International Monetary Fund credited these outcomes to effective economic management. Despite increased social spending under a new protection law, the nonhydrocarbon primary deficit as a share of nonhydrocarbon gross domestic product remained stable, highlighting the government's commitment to financial discipline. Government debt as a percentage of GDP further declined, reaching 35 percent in 2024, reflecting ongoing improvements in Oman's economic fundamentals. The Sultanate of Oman experienced an average inflation rate of 0.81 percent during the initial five months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to the Consumer Price Index data released by the Ministry of Economy. The report underscored a 1.3 percent rise in the general import price index and a 4.1 percent increase in the producer price index by the end of the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Geographical distribution revealed varied inflation rates across governorates, with South Al Batinah recording a slight decline of 0.04 percent, while A'Dakhiliyah saw the highest rate at 1.58 percent, closely followed by Musandam at 1.51 percent and South A'Sharqiyah at 1.24 percent. More moderate increases were observed in North A'Sharqiyah (0.21 percent) and North Al Batinah (0.42 percent), with other governorates remaining below one percent.

Richard Mille's RM 30-01 is a watch dedicated to racing
It's not often that a watch stops you in your tracks. But the RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic — a kinetic sculpture driven by the pulse of motorsport's golden age — demands that you pause and take a closer look. In this latest tribute to the legendary Le Mans Classic, one of the world's most iconic celebrations of racing, Richard Mille reminds us why its unapologetically elaborate creations live at the crossroads of art and adrenaline. Richard Mille has been part of the Le Mans Classic story since its inception in 2002, creating limited-edition timepieces for each edition of the race from 2008 onwards. With this latest creation, the connection feels more intimate than ever. Dressed in the unmistakable green and white of the historic race, the RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic feels like a time capsule of motorsport's soul, encased in quartz, titanium, and rubber. The vivid Green Quartz TPT case band clamped between titanium bezels sets the tone, while the vented green rubber strap, designed for breathability, hints at the air ducts of a vintage racer. But beneath the surface is where the real magic happens. The RMAR2 calibre beats like a race-tuned engine, crafted from grade 5 titanium for strength without the burden of weight. True to Richard Mille's philosophy, innovation isn't just an afterthought — it's built into every fibre of the watch. Take the declutchable rotor, for instance. This is no mere technical flourish. It's a smart safeguard against overwinding, disengaging automatically when the mainspring hits its limit, then waiting for the right moment to spring back into action. Its mechanical empathy is much like a seasoned driver who instinctively lifts off the throttle before pushing the engine to its breaking point. As the power reserve dips below 40 hours, the rotor quietly re-engages, ready to fuel another lap. This constant balance between power and restraint is visible through an indicator on the dial, offering a small window into the dynamic heart of the watch. Every detail tells a story. The oversized date window is framed like a finish-line flag, while the 24-hour counter at 2 o'clock offers a subtle nod to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, the spirit of which Le Mans Classic so vividly brings to life. Even the number 16 on the 24-hour disc, highlighted in green, recalls the race's traditional start time. And much like a racing gearbox, the function selector lets you toggle between winding, hand setting, and date adjustment — each function displayed clearly on the dial, leaving no room for guesswork when every second counts. Limited to just 150 pieces, the RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic isn't made for display cabinets. It's built for those who thrive on endurance and live life at full throttle. In every bridge, every screw, and every flash of green and white, Richard Mille channels the relentless spirit of endurance racing. This is the kind of watch that stops you in your tracks — and then dares you to keep going, lap after lap.
