MUSCAT: The Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) is organising a promotional conference for listed companies on September 5, showcasing the investment environment for the securities sector in the Sultanate of Oman.

Al Salmi explained that the conference will bring together the CEOs of the largest public shareholding companies, and includes several working papers on economic achievements and projects in the Sultanate of Oman that enhance its position in meeting the aspirations of investors and making it an attractive investment environment, and restructuring government companies through the Oman Investment Authority (OIA).

The strategic plan it is currently working on will be prioritised to promote the attractiveness of the stock exchange and also attract capital.
The CEO of the Muscat Stock Exchange pointed out that the conference will enhance effective communication between investors and public shareholding companies to develop the performance of these companies and identify the available investment opportunities, which will be an opportunity for companies to expand and diversify the investor base in their shares.
