UN team reviews Ithraa services

MUSCAT, October 23, 2016

A high-level UN team from the International Trade Centre conducted meetings last week with Ithraa, Oman’s inward investment and export development agency, focused on the latter's export facilitation and investment services.

The meetings also reviewed Ithraa's overall operational and management capacity.

Exploring international best practices and benchmarking also formed part of the discussions.  

Research shows that businesses who export have greater growth prospects, more durability and higher profitability than companies who do not. Exporting businesses generate an average growth of 30 per cent after exporting for just two years, a good reason to consider trading globally, said Ithraa.

“International exports are bringing new dollars into Oman and are among the primary economic drivers propelling Oman’s economic fortune. Today, we’re exporting to 140 countries. However, to maintain and improve on this performance we have to ensure that we’re providing current as well as future Omani exporters with the right support and information. That’s why our discussions with ITC are so important,” pointed out Nasima Al Balushi, Ithraa’s director general of export development.

“Doing business overseas needn’t be difficult,” remarked Taleb Al Makhmari, Ithraa’s acting director general, marketing and  media, adding: “Whatever country you’re considering, industry you're in or stage your business is at, Ithraa can help. Our team offers impartial export advice to help Omani firms understand international business practices and export market opportunities. Working with ITC will only help improve our offer to Oman’s business community. It’s a win-win scenario.”   - TradeArabia News Service
