AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

VAT & Medicines: Oman’s Tax Authority has set new zero-percent VAT rules from 1 October 2026, covering basic food commodities, human medicines and medical equipment, plus veterinary medicines and medical equipment—aimed at easing living costs and supporting health and agriculture. Occupational Safety: The Ministry of Labour wrapped up its “Safe Summer 2026” campaign, targeting heat risks at worksites; it received 1,000+ midday work permit applications and approved about 79% after checks. Food Security Leadership: Oman’s Royal Academy of Management launched a National Leadership Development Programme in the Food Security Sector to train 35 leaders across government, private sector, academia and finance for a more resilient food system. Community Health Boost: In Bisonvalley, a community health centre staff and ASHA workers turned a barren area into a marigold garden to welcome vaccination patients and children. Traffic Accident Costs: Oman’s insurers reported 21,700 traffic accidents in Q2 2026, with claims reaching about RO 25.1 million, including rising injury/medical-expense claims. Hotel Sector Demand: Oman’s 3–5 star hotels saw revenue drop 11% to about RO156.5m by end of August, as occupancy fell to 46.5% and guest numbers declined. Diplomacy & Children’s Welfare: Oman highlighted maritime security and humanitarian support at the UN, including discussions with UNICEF on improving services for children affected by conflicts.
