(MENAFN) Officials at the Ministry of Finance and issue expected a strong response to Oman Telecommunication Company’s USD248.64-million share offer to Omani individuals, Times of Oman reported.

Chairman of the Supervisory Committee for Omantel Divestment at the Ministry of Finance said that, if the dividend yield, discounted offer price and the demand for shares during the just-concluded private placement are considered as indications, there will be a strong demand for shares from individual investors during the public offer.
