Oman
Allgemein zu Oman
Das Sultanat
Oman,
arabisch
سلطنة عمان,
DMG
salṭanat ʿumān
liegt an der Südostecke der
Arabischen Halbinsel.
Die etwa drei Millionen Einwohner leben vorwiegend in Städten. Etwa
75 % der Bevölkerung sind islamische
Ibaditen. Das
Sultanat ist eine absolute Monarchie, besitzt gleichzeitig eine
Verfassung; die vom Sultan ernannten Minister und die zwei
nationalen Parlamente haben nur eine beratende Funktion. Das Land
exportiert hauptsächlich Erdöl und Erdgas, sowie etwas Kupfer und
wenig Chromit. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es auch eine
energieintensive Industrie.

Oman's economy is ranked the world's 42nd-freest in the
Heritage Organisation’s 2008 Index of Economic Freedom,
a measure of freedom enjoyed in business, trade,
monetary, financial, investment and labour markets.

haven, it is ranked as only the world's 53rd-least
corrupt country in the 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index
by Transparency International, a measure of corruption
amongst public officials and politicians.

| 3. |
In accordance with Oman company
law, every Omani company requires a minimum of two
shareholders. While 100% foreign shareholding of an
Omani company is possible (see point 1
under Advantages), that company
must have a minimum capital investment of 500,000 Omani
Riyals (US$1.3 million).
|
| 4. |
If an Omani company is not 100% foreign-owned, at least
one of the two shareholders must be an Omani citizen.
For a company with mixed Omani/foreign shareholding, the
minimum capital requirement is 150,000 Omani riyals. If
the company is 100% Omani-owned, the minimum capital is
just 10,000 Omani riyals.

or industrial business activities in Oman is also
