Rakiza joins UN Principles for Responsible Investment
Rakiza is currently the only infrastructure fund manager among signatories in the GCC and becomes one of only two UNPRI signatories based in Oman. 'ESG is not new to us — it's built into our investment process, asset management and decision-making,' said Muneer al Muneeri, CEO of Rakiza. 'Becoming a UNPRI signatory is about reinforcing that commitment publicly and contributing to the global benchmark for responsible infrastructure investment.' Rakiza co-manages Rakiza Fund I, which targets essential infrastructure sectors such as renewable energy, utilities, telecommunications, digital infrastructure, transport and logistics; and social infrastructure in Oman and Saudi Arabia. As fund manager, Rakiza prioritises long-term value creation, responsible stewardship and alignment with regional sustainability goals — with ESG principles integrated across the full investment lifecycle.
'We are delighted to welcome Rakiza as a PRI signatory,' said David Atkin, CEO of the PRI. 'Responsible investment is naturally aligned with infrastructure, given its long-term horizon as an asset class and its potential to shape sustainability outcomes. We look forward to working with Rakiza as part of our global signatory base.' The UNPRI's six principles offer a global framework for institutional investors to incorporate ESG factors into their investment and ownership decisions. By becoming a signatory, Rakiza commits to these principles and to reporting transparently on how ESG is embedded into its investment practices.

Omani climate-tech pioneer ranked among MENA's top 40 sustainable companies
MUSCAT: When Omani engineers and scientists at 44.01 first set out to turn carbon dioxide into stone, few imagined their innovation would earn global recognition and help put Oman on the sustainability map. Today, their journey has reached a new milestone: 44.01 has been named one of the Top 40 Most Sustainable Companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The ranking, curated by the CSO Network and Sustain Labs Paris, celebrates organisations that are not only reducing their environmental footprint, but also reshaping the future of business in the region. Companies were evaluated across six pillars — ranging from clean revenue to employee well-being — through 17 key performance indicators that address MENA-specific challenges like water scarcity, climate resilience and social inclusion. For Oman, 44.01 represents more than just a company; it is a symbol of how local innovation can tackle global challenges. The firm developed a unique carbon mineralisation technology that captures CO₂ and permanently stores it in peridotite rock deep underground, achieving up to 91% carbon removal efficiency. This groundbreaking approach has won international acclaim. In 2022, 44.01 received the Earthshot Prize, and earlier this year, it clinched the XPRIZE Carbon Removal Award for its 'Air' category — a recognition that places it alongside some of the world's most promising climate innovators. What makes 44.01 stand out is its holistic approach to sustainability. The company runs its operations entirely on renewables — using solar panels by day and biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil by night. It also avoids using precious drinking water, relying instead on seawater and treated wastewater. Beyond the technical success, 44.01 is creating jobs for Omani engineers and geologists, particularly those transitioning from the fossil fuel industry. This achievement comes at a time when Oman is stepping up its sustainability game. The Muscat Stock Exchange introduced Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting guidelines in 2023, with mandatory disclosures set to start in 2025. The government also unveiled a Sustainable Finance Framework last year, designed to channel investments into clean energy, climate adaptation and economic diversification. The Top 40 list also includes regional giants like Emirates Group, Masdar, TAQA Group and Red Sea Global. But 44.01's inclusion is especially meaningful, as it shows that homegrown Omani companies can compete — and lead — on the international stage.

China's PM Li Qiang calls for global ‘consensus' on AI regulation
Shanghai, China – Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday urged the international community to build a global consensus on artificial intelligence (AI) governance, highlighting security risks amid the raging tech race between Beijing and Washington. Speaking at the opening of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, Li said it is prudent to look at 'how to find a balance between development and security (which) urgently requires further consensus from the entire society'. Li also announced the creation of a Chinese-led body to promote global AI cooperation and open-source development to keep AI from becoming 'the preserve of a few countries and a few enterprises'. The tech rivalry between US, China The three-day WAIC event comes amid intensifying US-China competition in advanced AI technology. Just days before, US President Donald Trump announced the slashing of AI regulations to maintain the US' dominance in the field even as Washington continues to restrict exports of high-end chips to China, citing national security concerns. These restrictions are forcing Chinese companies to look for alternatives, with startup DeepSeek introducing an AI model in January that matched the performance of leading US systems, despite working on less advanced chips. Li, without naming the US, criticised monopolistic control and called for open access to AI technologies, warning of insufficient supply of AI chips and restrictions on talent exchange otherwise. 'Only by adhering to openness, sharing and fairness in access to intelligence can more countries and groups benefit from (AI),' he said. 'A test of international cooperation' At the WAIC opening ceremony, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video message that AI regulation would be 'a defining test of international cooperation.' More than 800 companies are participating in this year's WAIC, showcasing over 3,000 tech innovations. While Chinese firms like Huawei and Alibaba are the main entrants, international firms including US-based companies Tesla, Alphabet, and Amazon are also present. DW

Investing the Omani way: Steady and sustainable
As investors around the world adapt to a changing landscape marked by uncertainty, rising costs and shifting priorities, the search for stability has become paramount. In this context, Oman's measured and values-driven approach is drawing increasing interest. The Sultanate of Oman is positioning itself not only as an attractive investment destination — but as a country offering clarity, consistency and long-term value. Quiet Growth, Strong Fundamentals In a region shaped by rapid transformation, Oman stands out for its intentional and grounded approach. Rather than competing for visibility, the country has focused on building trust and resilience — appealing to investors looking beyond short-term gains. According to official data, foreign direct investment (FDI) into Oman rose by 16.2 per cent year-on-year, reaching RO 26.68 billion by Q3 2024, up from RO 22.96 billion during the same period the year before. Strategic Institutions and Projects Oman's investment environment is strengthened by the role of key institutions such as the Oman Investment Authority (OIA), Invest Oman, and the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ). These bodies provide structured support, policy clarity and investor facilitation across sectors. Recent developments include: a $30-billion green hydrogen programme, with major projects underway in Duqm and Salalah; the launch of 15 new public-private partnership (PPP) projects in 2024; and continued industrial and logistics expansion in Suhar, Khazaen and Salalah. These are not isolated announcements — they are part of a coherent national strategy linking diversification with long-term resilience. Institutions such OIA, Invest Oman, and OPAZ provide structured support, policy clarity and investor facilitation across sectors Sustainability with Local Roots Environmental stewardship in Oman is not driven by trend but by tradition. From water conservation practices to mountain ecosystems, sustainability has long been embedded in Omani life. In policy terms, the country jumped from 149th to 50th in the 2024 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) — a major rise backed by reforms in pollution control, ecosystem protection and renewable energy policy. Oman has also committed to Net-Zero carbon emissions by 2050, with guidance from the Oman Sustainability Centre. This alignment between vision and values is increasingly important to ESG-driven investors. Innovation That Respects Identity Oman is embracing innovation — but doing so on its own terms. The National Digital Economy Strategy targets a 10-per cent contribution to GDP by 2040, led by growth in fintech, e-government and smart logistics. In parallel, eco-tourism grew by 46 per cent in 2023, reflecting the rising appeal of cultural authenticity, coastal nature and heritage-based travel. In both technology and tourism, Oman is innovating in ways that preserve identity and add long-term value. A Culture of Genuine Partnership What distinguishes Oman is not only what it builds — but how it builds it. Investors frequently note the accessibility of decision-makers, the responsiveness of institutions and the emphasis on listening. This culture of engagement is not simply hospitable; it is strategic. Oman recognises that lasting investment requires more than incentives — it requires trust. Key Strategic Takeaways • Oman is delivering consistent FDI growth despite global uncertainty. • Green hydrogen, PPPs and digital economy projects are key drivers of diversification. • Sustainability is backed by cultural heritage and bold climate policy. • Innovation is pursued with local identity and long-term impact in mind. • The investment climate is shaped by transparency, humility and strategic intent. A Model for Uncertain Times While some economies move fast to attract attention, Oman is moving deliberately to build resilience. Its approach may be quieter, but it is also smarter — especially for investors who value depth over spectacle and coherence over volatility. In a world of distractions, Oman's steady, strategic and sustainable model stands out — and investors are taking notice.
