Oman's investment and real estate funds capital soars to OMR 1.2 billion in 2025

Oman's real estate and investment funds experienced a dramatic surge in capital in 2025, with total funds soaring by 89.9% to OMR 1.2 billion. This significant increase, up from OMR 630.8 million in 2024, signals growing investor confidence in the nation's regulated investment market.

The expansion was largely fueled by investment funds, which saw their capital skyrocket by 125.4% to OMR 993.7 million. Real estate funds also demonstrated resilience, posting a steady 7.4% growth to OMR 203.9 million, highlighting the sector's enduring appeal for long-term investment.

Overall net assets attributable to unit holders climbed 71.9% to OMR 1.36 billion in 2025. Investment funds accounted for the majority of this increase, with net assets rising 94.6%. Combined net profits for both fund types also saw a substantial jump of 82.1% to OMR 57.3 million, driven by strong performance in investment funds.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is actively working to enhance the regulatory framework. By improving disclosure, transparency, and corporate governance, the FSA aims to safeguard investor interests and align the Omani market with international standards. This initiative seeks to broaden investment product offerings, encourage savings, expand the investor base, and support the long-term growth of the country's non-banking financial sector.
