Omantel has been named a “Most Honored Company” at the 2026 Extel Awards, alongside awards for “Best Investor Relations Company” and “Best Investor Relations Team” in the Telecommunications sector. The recognitions were announced as part of the Extel Awards for Europe and Emerging EMEA Markets, with the awards ceremony held in London earlier this month.
Ghassan Khamis Al Hashar, Chief Financial Officer at Omantel, said: “This recognition reflects the strength of Omantel’s relationship with the investment community and our approach to investor relations as an integral part of good governance and long-term value creation. Transparent and effective engagement goes beyond reporting results. It requires giving investors a clear view of our strategy, performance and direction, enabling them to make informed decisions and strengthening confidence in the company.”
He added: “The three Extel recognitions reinforce our commitment to continually strengthening our investor relations practices in line with international standards. This includes improving the quality of disclosure, making information more accessible and maintaining an open dialogue with investors and analysts. We will continue to build on this approach as Omantel deepens its engagement with regional and international capital markets, underpinned by high standards of transparency and governance.”
The recognition is based on the views and assessments of the investment community, including investors and financial analysts, through Extel’s annual research. The research evaluates the quality of investor relations practices, the effectiveness of market communications and the level of engagement between executive leadership and the investment community.
The awards reflect the confidence Omantel has built among investors and analysts and its emphasis on transparency, disclosure and clear, reliable market communication. They also recognise the company’s continued engagement with capital markets and its efforts to give investors a clearer understanding of its strategy, performance and future direction.
Omantel has continued to strengthen its investor relations framework through improved disclosure practices, greater access to information and broader communication channels with investors across equity and debt markets. The approach is intended to deepen engagement with the investment community while responding to an evolving financial markets landscape.
The company continues to develop its investor relations practices in line with international best practices, supporting its broader approach to governance and transparency and strengthening its engagement across regional and international capital markets.
The Extel Awards are widely recognised as a global benchmark for investor relations. Each year, they draw on assessments from investors, analysts and other capital markets professionals to recognise performance in investor relations, corporate leadership and engagement with the investment community.
