The Oman Financial Services Authority's board held its second meeting of 2026 and reviewed a set of supervisory, market development and internal performance updates. These included the Financial Services Authority's financial statements and those of its affiliated funds for the period ending April 2026, an assessment of regulatory controls for registering Omani and non-Omani brokerage firms, the effectiveness of linkage arrangements with regional markets and their impact on the Muscat Stock Exchange, and updates on regulatory oversight and the development of the accounting and auditing profession. The board also reviewed implementation of the Capital Market Incentive Programme, including progress against targets and implementation plans, and examined the Financial Services Authority's first-quarter 2026 performance indicators. The meeting placed these reviews in the context of improving financial resource management, strengthening the regulatory framework for brokerage activity, and advancing professional and market standards across sectors under the authority's supervision.
