“Through organising such courses, we aim to
share some of BankMuscat’s and its partner’s
knowledge and experiences with Omani
entrepreneurs. Moreover, these events provide a
great opportunity for us in BankMuscat to engage
with a wide range of entrepreneurs to know their
business requirements, at the same time giving
them a chance to get to know us and what we do.
We are determined to continue offering these
courses to our current and potential clients
