Oman unveiled late on Wednesday a sustainable finance framework to help the Gulf country reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and attract environmental, social and governance (ESG) investors.
Under the initiative, the Sultanate plans to issue financial instruments like green, social and sustainability bonds as well as loans and sukuk - bonds that comply with Islamic law - whose proceeds will be used to fund and re-finance renewable energy projects.
