Oman continues to strengthen its position as an attractive global investment destination, with foreign direct investment (FDI) increasing 8.7% to reach approximately $83.7 billion by the end of the first quarter of 2026, according to preliminary data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI).

The growth reflects continued confidence from international investors, with major contributions from key global markets including the United Kingdom, United States, Kuwait, and China. The UK remains the largest foreign investor in Oman, followed by the USA, highlighting the Sultanate’s growing connectivity with global economies.

The latest figures demonstrate the success of Oman’s ongoing economic diversification efforts under Oman Vision 2040, with foreign capital continuing to flow into key sectors including energy, manufacturing, and financial services.

For Oman’s real estate sector, increasing foreign investment signals broader economic momentum and growing demand for world-class residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. As international businesses establish a stronger presence in the Sultanate, the need for high-quality destinations that support modern lifestyles and business activity continues to rise.

Developments such as Muscat Hills, located within Muscat’s New Downtown growth corridor, are strategically positioned to benefit from this expanding investment landscape. By combining residential communities, commercial spaces, retail destinations, hospitality, and leisure offerings, Muscat Hills reflects the type of integrated environment required to support Oman’s next phase of economic growth.

As global investors continue to recognize Oman’s stability, strategic location, and long-term potential, the Sultanate is emerging as one of the region’s most promising destinations for investment and sustainable development.
