WHY AMCHAM OMAN?
AmCham Oman is the only organization in Oman with a department built specifically around the U.S.–Oman FTA. It publishes the 24-page FTA Guide marking the agreement's 15th anniversary in 2024, operates the U.S. Embassy-funded Spotlight program (readiness surveys, a five-part webinar series, and in-person export training with AmCham Jordan), and is turning the 2024 revival of the United States-Oman Joint Committee into services businesses can use.
