Oman’s state-owned Nama Water Services (NWS) has unveiled an estimated OMR11 billion ($29 billion) capital expenditure plan to meet the country’s rising water demand up to 2050.

The investment aligns with the country’s Vision 2040 strategy and aims to support a population projected to double to 9 million over the next 25 years, the Oman Daily Observer reported, quoting a presentation by Abdulhakeem Al Dhuhli, master planning and strategic investments manager at NWS.

Under its 2025-2027 capex plan, the subsidiary of Nama Group has allocated OMR666 million, including OMR453 million for water projects and OMR213 million for wastewater infrastructure.

The investment includes more than 225 projects, comprising 113 water supply projects and 112 focused on wastewater treatment and network expansion.

The three-year plan will also add more than 8,000km of pipeline network, construct 202 reservoirs with a combined capacity of 1.8 million cubic metres and build 90 pumping stations, the report said.

In addition, the wastewater programme includes the construction of 28 sewage treatment plants and the addition of over 1,500km of network lines.

Water coverage is predicted to rise from 73 percent to 96 percent, while wastewater coverage is forecast to increase from 29 percent to 75 percent by 2040.

  • Oman signs food security deals with farmers
  • Funding model for water tech ‘holds back Gulf innovators’

The strategy also includes the option to develop projects through public-private partnerships, the report said, without giving details.

In January Oman estimated a budget deficit of OMR620 million for 2025, with spending likely to reach OMR11.8 billion, a 1.5 percent increase year on year.

Nearly OMR5 billion, or 42 percent of public spending, has been earmarked for social and basic sectors, with 39 percent allocated for education, 28 percent for social security and 24 percent for healthcare.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
