Open for Business: Oman’s Islamic Capital Market

How have recent Shariah compliant IPOs and Sukuk transactions moved the dial in terms of interest in Oman, and how can this impressive momentum be maintained?

What other opportunities are on offer for Islamic capital markets in Oman, in what sectors, and what needs to be done to capitalise on these?
