AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Urban Planning: Oman has issued a new urban planning law under Royal Decree No. 58/2026, setting fresh rules and tools to back sustainable development, improve city quality, and strengthen infrastructure and transport networks under Oman Vision 2040. Hormuz Diplomacy: The US-Iran ceasefire talks show “some movement” via Pakistan mediation, but the sticking points are still sharp—especially uranium enrichment and Iran’s push for a “tolling system” or controlled maritime zone in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman in the Middle: US officials say no country should accept any toll setup, while reports claim Iran is discussing fee arrangements with Oman—raising fresh regional alarm. Energy Pressure: Shipping remains disrupted and oil markets stay jumpy as transits and enforcement claims clash. Oman Business: Oman Investment Authority says its 2025 strategic partnerships delivered strong returns, while O-Green secured financing for Sohar’s 93MW industrial solar project.
