Currently, there are more than two million foreigners working and residing in Oman - of which, about 1.8 million are workers. They outnumber the nationals especially in the private sector, where only less than 15% employed are nationals.

The Middle East labor market has taken another turn for the worse for prospective foregin applicants. Saudi Arabia and Oman has set new restrictions on foreign nationals looking for work in these oil rich region. In a bid to stem the growing number of unemployment among locals, countries in the region are tightening the rules and limiting the vacancies available for expats. Minister of Labor and Social Development Ali Al-Ghafees has issued a decree to limit work in 12 new activities to Saudi men and women starting September 2018. The 12 work areas banned for expats are: watch shops, optical stores, medical equipment stores, electrical and electronics shops, outlets selling car spare part, building material shops, outlets selling all types of carpets, automobile and mobike shops, shops selling home furniture and ready-made office material, sale outlets of ready-made garments, children clothes and men’s supplies, household utensils shops and pastry shops. Oman's Minister of Manpower, Abdullah bin Nasser Al Bakri has issued Ministerial Decree 2018/38 last Sunday, imposing a six-month ban on hiring foreigners seeking work in 10 different industries. The ban includes jobs in the following sector: IT media air traffic management engineering accounting and finance technicians insurance marketing and sales administration and human resources According to minister Abdullah Al Bakri, the new ban, implemented immediately, aims to increase the employment rate among nationals. The hiring freeze “would help companies to create vacancies for Omanis who are looking for jobs,” he said. According to the Ministry of Manpower, there were nearly 60,000 unemployed university graduates in 2017 - the country's worst job crisis in 40 years. The ban affects 87 different job types across ten job sectors.

Internet Voice and Video Calling Apps Is Now Unblocked in Saudi Arabia?

It was about four years ago when the Saudi government started blocking messaging, voice and video calling apps from the country. Viber, Skype, Whats App and Facebook Messenger are just some of the popular mobile and PC applications partially or fully blocked by the Communications and Information Technology Commission. The Saudi government wanted these apps to have a local server in the Kingdom, where the government can monitor all communications passing through these apps. But a surprising news came from Saudi Arabia recently. Internet voice and video calling apps such as Skype, Viber and WhatsApp will be allowed to work fully in Saudi Arabia starting from Wednesday next week! The Communications and Information Technology Commission and telecommunications service providers are currently in discussions to enable everyone to benefit from applications that provide voice and video communications over the Internet. The cooperating bodies had confirmed their commitment to enable all users to use applications to make voice and video calls of the highest quality provided all applications are reviewed periodically. Abdullah bin Amer Al-Sawahah, the minister of Communications and Information Technology, thanked the parties involved in the talks for developing their technologies in line with the latest trends in the ICT sector and providing the best services to users. “This fruitful cooperation between the Kingdom’s telecoms partners comes under the umbrella of ‘Customer First,’ a policy in which everyone works in order to give all telecom subscribers in the Kingdom the best services that meet their expectations and satisfy their needs,” he said. The video below explains how governments block certain voice and video calling applications that allows billions of people across the globe. People usually have to resort to using VPNs to bypass the government blocking systems. The Kingdom is considered as one of the world’s fastest growing countries in terms of growth in the use of smart phones and participation in social networking platforms. Millions of migrant workers rely on these apps to communicate with their family and friends back home. The average use of the Internet by mobile networks in the Kingdom is among the highest globally, which emphasizes the importance of keeping pace with the growing trend in the provision of networks and infrastructure to the highest quality standards. Previous steps to raise the level of transparency and clarity in the sector include the launch of the quarterly index of telecoms providers in terms of complaints filed by subscribers. It will be followed by several initiatives in partnership with service providers to improve the sector and the customer experience, and to develop a digital society in line with the 2030 Vision. source: Arab News

The Kingdom is considered as one of the world’s fastest growing countries in terms of growth in the use of smart phones and participation in social networking platforms. Millions of migrant workers rely on these apps to communicate with their family and friends back home. The average use of the Internet by mobile networks in the Kingdom is among the highest globally, which emphasizes the importance of keeping pace with the growing trend in the provision of networks and infrastructure to the highest quality standards. Previous steps to raise the level of transparency and clarity in the sector include the launch of the quarterly index of telecoms providers in terms of complaints filed by subscribers. It will be followed by several initiatives in partnership with service providers to improve the sector and the customer experience, and to develop a digital society in line with the 2030 Vision. source: Arab News
