Muscat: At the behest of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, the Ministry of Finance announced a set of incentives to be offered to citizens and the private sector during 2021 on Thursday.
The incentives include loans from Oman Housing Bank, with the annual sum designated for annual borrowing during 2021 to be increased to OMR100 million, from OMR60 million in the bank’s budget in the same year. This will take the number of approvals for citizens’ loans to 2,250 from 1,350. The step will shorten citizens’ wait for their turn in obtaining housing loans.
