Oman Company for Development of Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Tatweer) and Iskan Oman Investment Company have announced their plan to allocate capital shares of their new projects in Duqm for the local community companies.
Engineer Yahya bin Khamis al-Zedjali, In-Charge of Managing Operations at the Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (Sezad), held a meeting with a number of local companies and representatives of Tatweer and Iskan companies, said an Oman News Agency report.
During the meeting, several projects were discussed, including one for the accommodation of employees who are working in the Sezad. Accordingly, about 20% of the capital of big projects that are providing housing solutions in Duqm will be allocated for the local community companies.
