Oman to develop free-zone projects worth $2.5bn

2025/12/02 15:41

Oman is to launch a series of projects with a total investment value of $2.5 billion in its free zones during the first quarter of 2026.

The projects include a polysilicon plant, a renewable energy manufacturing unit, a chemical factory, a sugar refinery and electric vehicle manufacturing. 

“These projects will boost industrial exports and diversify our economy away from hydrocarbon income. It will also create hundreds of jobs for Omanis in the towns close to the free zones,” Ahmed Al Dheeb, deputy chairman of the public authority for special economic zones and free zones (Opaz), told Oman Television.

Oman has six free zones across the country. The largest are in Sohar, Duqm and Salalah. 

“All these developments will move up Oman as a major industrial exporter of non-hydrocarbon products in the gulf and increase its foreign trade,” Hamed Al Saidi, a member of the state-run Oman Business Forum, told AGBI

In the first nine months of this year, Oman’s foreign trade fell 2 percent year on year to $79 billion, pulled down by a 16.5 percent drop in oil and gas exports.

Non-oil revenue fared better, rising 10.3 percent to $13 billion in the same period, helped by an increase in chemical production, up 14.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
