Meethaq, a leader in Islamic banking in Oman from Bank Muscat, and two subsidiary companies of Muscat National Development and Investment Company (ASAAS) signed term finance agreements with a total value of OMR16 million for an upscale three-star hotel in Muscat and a crew reporting terminal at the airport.
Sulaiman Al Harthy, Deputy Chief Executive Officer-Islamic Banking, and Eng. Khalid bin Hilal Al Yahmadi, Chief Executive Officer of ASAAS, signed the Shari'ah-compliant term finance agreements at Grand Hormuz Hotel.
Meethaq signed the first agreement with Al Khuwair Hospitality and Investment Company for term finance facility of OMR10.63 million to part finance the three-star hotel to be operated by Hilton Garden Inn.

"ASAAS is proud to join hands with Meethaq for the term finance agreements which mark the first bank financing for ASAAS projects with a total value of RO 16 million. ASAAS believes in the importance of co-operation and partnership between the public and private sectors to enhance the government's efforts to achieve the desired economic diversification and we are committed to achieving this objective. The establishment of various projects by ASAAS is aimed at enhancing social and economic development in the Sultanate," said Al Yahmadi.
Al Harthy added that Meethaq is proud to be associated with ASAAS projects as part of its commitment to promote investment opportunities in Oman. As a pioneer of Islamic banking in Oman, the bank recognises the immense investment prospects and potential that Oman offers and is committed to supporting strategic development initiatives in line with Oman's Vision 2040 economic blueprint. Within four years of operations, Meethaq has crossed a milestone of over OMR1 billion in assets and consolidated its leadership position, recording many achievements contributing to the growth and development of the Sultanate's economy.
