Ministry Launches Investment Projects with Pre-Purchase Agreements

Oman Unveils New Investment Opportunities with Assured Market Demand

Muscat: The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion announced a package of investment opportunities supported by guaranteed purchase contracts, in a move aimed at enhancing project attractiveness and reducing operational risks for local and international investors.

The initiative seeks to provide investors with confirmed demand for project outputs before operations commence, thereby improving investment confidence, supporting financing opportunities and accelerating project implementation.

The opportunities form part of the Sultanate of Oman’s efforts to develop ready-to-invest projects linked directly to market needs and local supply chains. The approach is expected to enhance project efficiency, accelerate returns on investment and support long-term sustainability and growth.

The pre-purchase contract model is based on commitments by designated buyers to purchase part or all of a project’s production under pre-agreed terms. This mechanism provides investors with greater visibility regarding future revenues and strengthens the project’s ability to attract financing and strategic partnerships.

The investment package covers several industrial and production sectors and has been developed based on technical and economic studies that consider local demand levels and export potential.

Among the opportunities offered is a refrigerator manufacturing plant on an area of 10,000 square metres with an estimated investment value of RO 6.545 million. The project targets the production of household, commercial and industrial refrigeration units.

The package also includes a textile and fabric manufacturing facility with an investment value of RO 4.608 million on an area of 10,000 square metres, aimed at supporting domestic manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports.

Other opportunities include a computer and accessories factory valued at RO 6.152 million, an office supplies and stationery factory worth RO 2.5 million, a tyre manufacturing plant with an investment value of RO 6.545 million, a military uniform accessories factory valued at RO 6 million, and an air-conditioning manufacturing facility worth RO 6.545 million.

Khalid Hamad Al Kharousi, Director General of Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, said that the opportunities represent an advanced investment model that links projects to confirmed market demand rather than traditional investment offerings.

In a statement to Oman News Agency (ONA), he noted that the projects were developed in cooperation with government entities and sector partners to ensure alignment with actual market requirements and supply chain needs.

He added that the model enhances investor confidence, supports project sustainability and growth, and contributes to reducing operational risks while increasing access to financing and strategic partnerships.

Al Kharousi affirmed that the Sultanate of Oman continues to develop investment opportunities based on market demand, supported by competitive advantages that include a strategic geographic location, advanced infrastructure, supportive legislation and a stable economic environment.

He pointed out that cooperation among government entities plays a key role in accelerating project readiness and transforming investment opportunities into productive ventures that generate added value for the national economy and support economic diversification objectives.

The initiative aligns with the goals of Oman Vision 2040, which seeks to build a diversified and sustainable economy, strengthen private sector participation, increase the contribution of quality investments to GDP and support innovation, sustainability and job creation.
