OMIFCO, a fertiliser company based in Oman, has announced plans to sell a 25% stake through an initial public offering (IPO). This move could represent the first public listing in Oman for the year 2026 and one of the earliest in the Gulf region since the onset of the US-Israeli conflict involving Iran. The IPO is significant as it reflects ongoing economic activities in the Gulf despite regional geopolitical tensions. OMIFCO's listing is anticipated to attract investor interest given its position in the fertiliser sector and the strategic importance of the Gulf markets. The IPO could be the first public listing of the year in the Gulf country ‌as well as one of the first in the region since the start of ‌the US-Israeli war on Iran.
