Rakiza was established to take advantage of the drive to attract private investment into Oman

Oman’s privatization drive, fiscal reform and market liberalization, presents many opportunities for financial investors, in addition to traditional strategic players.

The Fund is a joint venture, managed by Oman Infrastructure Investment Management (OIM), in partnership with leading infrastructure investor, developer and long-term fund manager, together forming “the Manager”.

  • OIM have a powerful network of contacts in the region, bringing unrivalled access to deal flow
  • Leading Fund Manager has a strong track record in fund management and a well established team bringing superior experience of the asset class to the partnership
  • RAKIZA will be an active asset manager, using a broad and deep in-house team to oversee investments and benchmarking operations against peers

OMAN – Attractive Investment Destination

Rapid economic expansion in the Sultanate over the last 20 years Government diversification initiatives and rising population driving critical infrastructure investment Favorable regulatory model and developed PPP framework

Why Oman?

  • Zones provide a large number of opportunities in ports, utilities, gas pipelines and other supporting infrastructure
  • Driven by a rising population the government aims to spend 12% of annual expenditures on development projects
  • Unique strategic location with four special economic zones which have become clusters of industrial and commercial activity: Duqm, Salalah, Suhar and Al Mazunah
  • ‘Tanfeedh’: Oman’s National program for enhancing economic diversification and focusing on five key industries away from oil

Thr Case for Investment in Oman

  • Private sector participation in infrastructure finance has been limited to the power and water assets
  • This pioneered the use of PPPs in the Sultanate and acted as a catalyst for the government’s proactive privatization agenda
  • Rakiza provides an opportunity to invest in expanding sectors of the Omani infrastructure market alongside the specialized expertise of a state-backed investment sponsor
  • The Investment Team has identified an immediate pipeline of assets with total cumulative project values above US$5 billion in power and water, telecommunications, transport and logistics, environmental, oil and gas and renewables sectors
