He explained that the zone offers a comprehensive investment environment that includes advanced infrastructure and sophisticated logistical solutions. It also provides multiple competitive incentives, such as streamlined procedures, tax reductions, and continuous logistical support, which enhances the zone's appeal to local and international investors and reflects its commitment to supporting the national economic vision in line with the aspirations of Oman Vision 2040.
