Oman to review expat hiring policies
- Oman: Thursday, January 17 - 2013 at 04:41
The Omani cabinet has asked its departments to review policies on hiring of foreign workers, in a sign that the sultanate may try to shift more jobs from expatriates to its own citizens, Reuters has reported. The council of ministers also said it wanted to identify the type of businesses that Omanis should be encouraged to set up, and to collect data on foreigners who were violating labour laws. According to estimates by the International Monetary Fund, unemployment among Omani citizens may have exceeded 20% in 2010. Government officials said that estimate is far too high and that the number of registered unemployed was reduced by three-quarters to about 17,000 last year.
