Oman
Expands Investment Presence in South African Market

Muscat,
1 Dec 2025 (ONA) — “Invest Oman”, represented by the Ministry of Commerce,
Industry and Investment Promotion, will begin its visit to the Republic of
South Africa tomorrow, Monday, to hold the “Advantage Oman – South
Africa” business dialogue. The goal is to enhance investment partnerships
and explore economic cooperation opportunities between the two countries.

This
visit comes within the framework of the Sultanate of Oman’s direction towards expanding
its network of international partnerships and strengthening investment
relations with one of the most important industrial economies in the African
continent.

The
dialogue will gather an elite group of major investors, CEOs, and leading South
African companies, focusing on four key sectors: mining, agriculture,
manufacturing, and information technology. This is intended to showcase
promising investment opportunities in the Sultanate of Oman and enhance
bilateral cooperation in priority areas.

The
“Advantage Oman – South Africa” business dialogue will provide a direct
platform for communication between the Omani business community and their
counterparts in South Africa. The Omani delegation will deliver comprehensive
presentations on the competitive advantages of the Sultanate of Oman, including
its strategic geographic location, political and economic stability, supportive
legislative environment, as well as government incentives and major ongoing
projects that enhance the Sultanate of Oman’s competitiveness as a regional
investment hub.

It
is worth noting that the volume of trade exchange between the Sultanate of Oman
and South Africa reflects a promising economic base for cooperation. Omani
exports to South Africa reached approximately RO 17.1 million until June 2025,
compared to RO 17.2 million in imports, in addition to RO 4.36 million in
re-exports, which enhances the opportunities for developing partnerships in
various sectors during the coming period.
