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.

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.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
