Add to that, the government policies to boost investment and business contribute greatly to attract many foreign investments to establish new projects. This not only helps in diversifying the sources of the national economy, but also contributes to bring more advanced technologies and supports export operations.
Among the steps taken by the government to attract foreign investment, many economic incentives include the freedom to transfer capital and profits abroad. The Oman Center for Investment Promotion and Export Development was established specifically to help foreign investors.
These efforts have contributed to attract many foreign investments in some vital projects such as the Oman Liquid Natural Gas project, the aluminum smelting project, the agricultural fertilizer project, and many others.
