This demonstrates the authority’s dedication to operational excellence and the establishment of a global identity, particularly following merger of State General Reserve Fund and Oman Investment Fund.
Furthermore, the report acknowledges OIA’s efforts in sharing investment strategies, exit plans and the development of a new framework aligned with sustainable development goals. By embracing the Santiago Principles set forth by IFSWF, OIA ensures adherence to unified procedures that reflect disclosure requirements, transparency, governance, accountability and risk management standards.
To consistently evaluate its commitment to these criteria, OIA collaborates with IFSWF, striving to stay up to date with the latest governance requirements and achieve superior operational and investment performance through the application of best international practices. This pursuit enables OIA to establish an integrated, flexible and practical system.
