Progress 2009 - 2010

The Blessed Renaissance which began in 1970 has transformed the Sultanate of Oma
n into a dynamic and progressive nation. United Media Services annual publication – Progress 2009-2010, is a celebration of the 39th Renaissance Day. Progress, which completes its 15th edition in 2009, has come to be recognised as the most authoritative account of the Sultanate’s socio-economic achievements, at home and abroad. Says HE Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs, “This annual book is valuable as it provides an insight on the achievements made in the different fields. I am sure this book will be an added value to the achievements made and will help continue our endeavours to turn His Majesty the Sultan’s vision into reality.”

The latest edition stands out for its exhaustive coverage of various sectors like Oil and Gas, Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, Education and Healthcare, Insurance, Agriculture and Poultry, Retailing, Aviation, Information Technology, Real estate, Telecom, Manufacturing and Logistics, Power, Infrastructure, Tourism and Trade. Each of these sectors are covered in dedicated chapters highlighting the strides taken by the Sultanate in these areas. The articles bring readers up to speed with the latest developments, key financial indicators and the future roadmap for these sectors. As a picture is worth a thousand words, each of these sections are accompanied by breathtaking photographs.

Apart from top draw articles, Progress also contains contributory pieces from a number of ministers from various ministries. HE Ahmed bin Abdulnabi Macki, Minister of National Economy and Deputy Chairman of Financial Affairs and Energy Resources Council says, “Throughout the last few decades, the Sultanate has made impressive achievements in all walks of life.” HE Dr Ali bin Mohammed bin Moosa, Minister of Health says, “The Sultanate’s world-leading position in public healthcare, as affirmed by the WHO, is the outcome of the visionary approach of the Ministry of Health in its strategic prioritisation of primary healthcare, combined with its structured planning activities undertaken through a succession of Five Year Plans initiated in 1970.”

Says HE Maqbool bin Ali Sultan , Minister of Commerce and Industry, “The size of foreign trade and direct foreign investments have witnessed massive developments during the blessed Renaissance.” HE Dr Rajiha bint Abdulamir bin Ali, Minister of Tourism avers, “Since 1995, tourism has seen a massive development in terms of laying down its regulatory and organisational framework or developing the tourist sites at the different locations all over the Sultanate.” Sheikh Mohammed bin Ali al Qatabi – Minister of Fisheries adds, “The integration among fishing and other constituents of the Omani economy reflect the economic growth witnessed by the Sultanate in the last few decades.” HE Dr Rawiyah bint Saud Al Busaidiyah, Minister of Higher education echoes the views, “The government has provided a sound regulatory framework to ensure that the education process is up to world class standards.”

Like earlier editions, Progress 2009-2010 has seen an overwhelming participation from the corporate sector of Oman. Progress provides an opportunity to all the well established corporate houses of Oman to showcase their achievements in tandem with the development of Oman and have taken the opportunity to felicitate His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said by being a part of the book.

The 2009 edition of Progress, with its variety of content and pleasing layouts is sure to appeal to a cross section of readers. The book can be found at bookstores across the Sultanate and is sure to adorn the bookshelves of readers for posterity.
