Oman government is planning to launch the biggest nationalization process in the job sector in the country. The Oman government has urged all the state-owned companies to speed-up the process of replacing expat staff with Omani nationals, especially in senior positions, to create more jobs for its citizens.

The finance ministry has asked the e public sector companies to appoint Omanis in the place of foreign staff, including in managerial positions. The companies must make a timetable by July 2021 to do this.

The ministry said large numbers of expatriates still occupied managerial posts in state-run firms. Foreigners make up more than 40% of Oman’s population of 4.6 million.
