MUSCAT, Oman<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 18, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Future Fund Oman announced record activity in 2025, approving 141 projects this year and lifting total commitments to $1.2 billion<\/span> as the fund accelerates Oman’s<\/span> economic diversification agenda. \u00a0Established by Oman Investment Authority with a capital commitment of $5.2 billion<\/span> to be deployed over five years, the fund is now one of the region’s fastest-expanding national investment vehicles, with all capital directed toward projects inside Oman<\/span> and aligned with the priorities of Oman Vision 2040.<\/p>\n

\"FUTURE<\/a>
FUTURE FUND OMAN COMMITS $1.2 BILLION AS $5.2 BILLION INVESTMENT PROGRAM ACCELERATES ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION<\/span> <\/div>\n

Investment activity has drawn growing private-sector participation from the United States<\/span>, United Arab Emirates<\/span>, Saudi Arabia<\/span>, Egypt<\/span>, China<\/span>, and India<\/span>. To date, Future Fund Oman has mobilized approximately $2.1 billion<\/span> in additional private and foreign capital, including eight large-scale projects developed alongside global investors, banks, funds, and family offices. The fund said the rising leverage ratio reflects strengthening international confidence in Oman’s<\/span> industrial, manufacturing, and clean energy ambitions.<\/p>\n

Job creation remains a key performance indicator. Projects approved since launch have generated more than 1,400 jobs, with thousands more in progress. Investments span five national priority clusters , energy transition, advanced materials, healthcare, logistics, and information and communications technology, reinforcing the fund’s role in shaping the country’s next phase of economic growth.<\/p>\n

Flagship developments include a $1.6 billion<\/span> solar-grade polysilicon manufacturing facility by United Solar, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project has already supported over 1,000 jobs and delivered more than $317 million<\/span> in in-country value, while also attracting interest from international development finance institutions. Another major project is JA Solar’s six-gigawatt solar cell manufacturing complex in the SOHAR Port and Freezone, a $442 million<\/span> investment nearing key construction milestones. Once operational, the facility is expected to employ more than 500 people and expand Oman’s<\/span> foothold in regional clean energy supply chains.<\/p>\n

Momentum also continues under the fund’s SME and venture capital mandate. Since inception, 132 SME and VC projects have been approved, with $56.7 million<\/span> committed and $37.4 million<\/span> deployed through eight specialized vehicles covering pre-seed, seed, growth equity, and SME debt. Application volumes remain strong across both mandates, driven by sustained domestic and international interest in projects linked to industrial modernization, technology development, and clean energy.<\/p>\n

Since launch, the fund has assessed 828 proposals and approved 141 projects valued at around $3.4 billion<\/span>, spanning nine major strategic investments and 132 SME and venture capital initiatives. Its dual mandate guides capital toward both large national projects and smaller high-growth businesses, with a targeted 12 percent return and a 40 percent equity ceiling per investment.<\/p>\n
