IFC Oman is an independent international financial centre, established by Royal Decree 8/2026 to advance Oman Vision 2040 — operating under common-law principles and internationally aligned regulation.
Who We Are
Building a credible, common-law financial centre.
Established by Royal Decree 8/2026, IFC Oman is being built as an independent, common-law financial centre under Oman Vision 2040 — engaging banks, asset and wealth managers, insurance and reinsurance firms, fintech and innovators, family offices, and professional services.
Anchored in international standards, including FATF, IOSCO and AML/CFT requirements, and supported by independent governance, IFC Oman is built to grow at the pace of credibility.
The Sultanate
Built where the world's trade routes meet.
The Sultanate of Oman is a stable, sovereign nation with one of the longest continuous diplomatic traditions in the region — measured, principled, and trusted as a regional convener. It sits at the meeting point of the Gulf, the Indian subcontinent and East Africa, anchored by deep maritime heritage and modern infrastructure.
Under Oman Vision 2040, the Sultanate is advancing economic diversification, institutional modernisation and credible long-term growth. IFC Oman is a cornerstone of that strategy.
