Oman: Green light for Islamic Financial Services
THE Omani government has embraced its doors to Islamic banking.
At the end of May, the Central Bank of Oman (CBO)’s board of governors had agreed upon the legislation for the establishment of sharia-compliant institutions and Islamic branches in conventional banks. The CBO also approved afterwards the creation of Bank Nizwa, which will be the first Islamic institution operating in the Sultanate.
