During the visit, Ibtisam Al Farooji, Director General of Investor Services at Madayn, pointed out that Masar aims at enhancing an attractive investment climate in the Sultanate through easing the procedures and services offered to the investors. “This shall consequently reinforce ties with our partners to provide integrated services to the investors as well as strengthen relations with the investors to achieve an ideal and secure business environment,” Al Farooji said.

She added, “In order to achieve investor satisfaction, Masar presents a transparent, effective and smooth interaction between the business community and the government for daily dealings under one platform.
