No detailed description available for "Foreign Investment in the Sultanate of Oman".

This book examines the international investment agreements and the dispute settlement mechanisms contained therein, which bind the Gulf Cooperation Council member States. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, is complex and unique. Recently, all member States have experienced increasing investor–state arbitration claims, while their nationals are increasingly instituting investor–state arbitrations to protect their own foreign investments. Intra-GCC disputes, though relatively rare, have also appeared, largely as a result of the recent Gulf crisis. While focussing particularly upon the investor–state dispute settlement experience of member States as respondents, the book also explores the experiences of their nationals as claimants to determine how they can approach investor– state dispute settlement in the future. The book also reflects on existing treaty-making practices, making recommendations for regional-level dispute settlement to improve upon investor–state dispute settlement outcomes. This book provides a detailed analysis of the global investor–state dispute settlement regime and international investment agreements, and it will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners with an interest in international investment law and arbitration.

Oman is a country located in the Middle East, on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is a small country, with a population of around 5 million people. Oman has a rich history and culture, with evidence of human settlement dating back to 10,000 BC. Its strategic location made Oman an important center for trade and commerce in the ancient world, with its ports serving as crucial stopovers for traders traveling between Asia, Africa and Europe. Today, Oman is a modern and prosperous country, with a thriving economy based largely on oil production, tourism and commerce. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including rugged mountains, golden deserts, and picturesque coastlines, as well as its diverse and hospitable people. Despite its modernization and progress, Oman remains deeply rooted in its traditions and history, making it a unique and fascinating destination for travelers and scholars alike.

When the experienced TBY team landed in Muscat in September 2019 to start its seventh annual research on the Sultanate's economy, it could have never imagined the uniqueness of the times ahead. Early 2020 saw the passing away of the Father of the Nation, His Majesty Late Sultan Qaboos bin Said, and the appointment of the new leader, His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq. This was thought to be Oman's defining event in 2020, but shortly after, the COVID-19 outbreak touched every corner of the world, and oil prices continuously sunk to record lows. No doubt it is a trying time, but we see this 2020 edition of The Business Year: Oman as ushering a new era for the Sultanate. With a refreshed, forward-looking perspective, this 260-page publication analyzes how the business community is embracing innovation and technology to create a competitive, diversified economy.
