UAE Boosts Investment in Oman to OMR 255M Amid Hormuz Route Disruptions

UAE project investment in Oman reached approximately OMR 255 million ($663 million) in the second quarter of 2026, rebounding sharply from a decline in the prior quarter according to official Omani data.

Bilateral trade also accelerated, with Omani exports to the UAE surging nearly 90 percent in the first eight months of the year.
