The Social Protection Fund in Oman has announced a date for completing the transfer of ownership of assets from seven separate pension funds as part of the country’s unified pension and social protection system. This move aims to consolidate the management of investment and financial assets related to pension schemes under a single institutional framework.

According to Decision No. R/11/2026, the effective date of the transfer will coincide with the completion of the asset handover from the following funds: the Civil Service Employees Pension Fund, the Royal Oman Police Pension Fund, the Royal Guard of Oman Pension Fund, the Sultan’s Special Force Pension Fund, the Internal Security Service Pension Fund, the Royal Office Pension Fund, and the Royal Court Employees Pension Fund.

The decision will take effect the day after its publication in the Official Gazette. This procedural step is intended to formalize and complete the integration of these funds’ assets into the Social Protection Fund’s portfolio.

Officials have emphasized that the consolidation represents a significant organizational development in Oman’s pension sector. By unifying the asset management responsibilities under the Social Protection Fund, authorities aim to streamline oversight, improve investment efficiency, and strengthen the overall sustainability of pension provisions for government employees and security personnel.

The transfer aligns with the broader government strategy to establish a cohesive social protection framework across various public sectors, ensuring consistent management and better governance of financial resources supporting retirees.
