Oman Investment Authority (OIA) has announced a strong financial performance for 2025, reporting a significant increase in profits as the fund’s total assets under management reached approximately OMR23 billion ($60 billion).
According to the authority’s latest report, annual profit rose to OMR2.9 billion in 2025, representing an 86% increase compared to OMR1.6 billion recorded the previous year.
The sovereign wealth fund said its return on investment reached 14.6%, placing it among the higher-performing sovereign investment funds globally.
OIA also reported that its assets under management grew by 13% during the year. The authority added that every dollar invested through the fund in 2020 had increased in value by around 73% by the end of 2025.
The performance comes as Oman continues efforts to diversify its economy beyond the oil and gas sector and strengthen its role in international investment markets.
The fund said it successfully attracted around OMR1.5 billion in foreign direct investment into key sectors during 2025, supporting economic development initiatives across the Sultanate.
OIA also reduced financial liabilities across its portfolio by settling approximately OMR920 million in debt linked to subsidiary companies, helping strengthen the overall financial position of the group.
As part of its capital recycling strategy introduced in 2022, the authority completed 24 divestments by the end of 2025, generating around OMR2.8 billion that will be reinvested into future projects and investment opportunities.
The authority’s investment portfolio currently spans approximately 52 countries. While most investments remain concentrated inside Oman, the fund also maintains significant international exposure across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific markets.
According to the report, nearly two-thirds of OIA’s investments are based in Oman, while 19% are allocated to North America, 9% to Europe, and 4% to Asia-Pacific regions.
The report also highlighted continued investment in domestic development projects, with local capital expenditure reaching OMR2.4 billion during 2025.
Meanwhile, Oman’s Ministry of Finance projects national debt to reach around OMR14.6 billion by the end of 2026, representing nearly 36% of the country’s GDP. The government also expects the national budget deficit to decline compared to the previous year.
Industry analysts say the strong performance of OIA reflects Oman’s ongoing strategy to improve financial stability, attract investment, and diversify revenue sources as part of the country’s long-term economic transformation plans.
