Sohar International to open Hong Kong office
Sohar International Bank, Oman’s second-biggest bank by assets, has received approval from the country’s central bank to open a representative office in Hong Kong.
The approval was received on December 25, the lender said in a statement to the Muscat stock exchange on Sunday.
“The central bank’s approval is subject to receiving all necessary approvals, licenses, and clearances from the relevant authorities in Hong Kong and compliance with the applicable laws in both Hong Kong and Oman,” it said in a statement.
In September Sohar International Bank said the move to open a representative office in either Hong Kong or China aimed to strengthen its and Oman’s presence in global financial markets.
The bank reported a net profit of OMR71 million ($185 million) from January to September, a 7 percent year-on-year decline.
Listed on the Muscat Securities Market since December 2024, the lender’s share closed of OMR0.165 has risen 24 percent in the last year.

That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease.
