Goldfields Joins Mining in Motion as Bronze Sponsor
South African-based global mining firm Goldfields has confirmed its participation at the upcoming Mining in Motion Summit – Ghana's premier gathering for mining stakeholders, scheduled for June 2 – 4, 2025 in Accra – as a bronze sponsor.
As one of the world's largest gold producers and a key player in Ghana's mining landscape, Gold Fields' involvement signals its deep commitment to the country's mining sector. Under the theme Sustainable Mining&Local Growth – Leveraging Resources for Global Growth, the summit brings together leading mining firms like Gold Fields, government officials and international stakeholders to shape the future of gold mining in Ghana.
As a bronze sponsor, Gold Fields will engage in high-level panel discussions, exclusive networking sessions, and project showcases - demonstrating its long-term vision and alignment with Ghana's goal of using the mining sector as a driver of economic growth.
In April 2025, Gold Fields received a 12-month renewal of its mining license for the Damang Mine, allowing the company to further invest in infill drilling aimed at extending the mine's operational life and production capacity.
Gold Fields also operates the Tarkwa Mine - Africa's largest open-pit gold mine and a pillar of Ghana's gold sector - which produces over 551,000 ounces of gold annually. As the company targets a global production range of 2 to 3 million ounces per annum over the next decade, Ghana remains a central hub in achieving that ambition.
Mining in Motion 2025 provides an invaluable platform for Gold Fields to deepen its engagement with Ghanaian government officials, forge new strategic partnerships, and strengthen existing relationships within the mining ecosystem. The firm's participation highlights its ongoing role in supporting Ghana's sustainable development, economic resilience, and leadership in global gold production.
Organized by the Ashanti Green Initiative – led by Oheneba Kwaku Duah, Prince of Ghana's Ashanti Kingdom – in collaboration with Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, World Bank, and the World Gold Council, with the support of Ghana's Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the summit offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with industry leaders.

Oman: Income tax to diversify economy, shore up social protection
Oman is on the cusp of a significant shift in its tax landscape with the introduction of a personal income tax (PIT). This move, a first for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, aims to diversify the country's revenue streams and reduce its reliance on oil revenues. The introduction of personal income tax in Oman is a strategic move to diversify revenue streams and address economic challenges. While it may present some challenges, it also reflects Oman's commitment to aligning its tax regime with global standards and fostering economic growth. The Personal Income Tax Law, as per Royal Decree No 56/2025, consisting of 76 articles distributed across 16 chapters, stipulates a 5 per cent tax on the taxable income of natural persons whose gross annual income exceeds RO 42,000, derived from specific income types as defined by the law. The law also includes deductions and exemptions accounting for social considerations in the Sultanate of Oman, such as education, healthcare, inheritance, zakat, donations, primary housing and other factors. The Tax Authority said that the Personal Income Tax Law complements the tax system in line with Oman's economic and social conditions and aligns with the role assigned to the Tax Authority. It also contributes to the objectives of 'Oman Vision 2040' by diversifying income sources and reducing reliance on oil revenues, with targets of 15 per cent of GDP by 2030 and 18 per cent by 2040. Additionally, the tax aims to promote wealth redistribution among societal segments, enhancing social justice, while supporting the state budget and specifically financing part of the social protection system. The implementation follows an in-depth study assessing its economic and social impact, with approximately 99 per cent of Oman's population expected to be exempt. The executive regulations of the law will be issued within a year of its publication in the Official Gazette. An electronic system has been developed to promote voluntary compliance, linked with relevant departments for accurate income calculation and verification. The initial plans for an income tax were announced in 2020. The draft proposals suggested a tax rate ranging from 5 per cent to 9 per cent for Omani citizens and expatriates. However, the implementation date has been repeatedly postponed. With all necessary preparations and requirements for implementing the tax completed, the executive regulations of the law will be issued within one year of its publication in the Official Gazette. An electronic system has been developed by the Tax Authority to promote voluntary compliance and has been linked with the departments concerned to ensure accurate income calculation and verification of tax declarations. The Tax Authority has also strengthened its workforce through specialised training programmes in line with the tax implementation requirements. Additionally, guidance manuals for natural and legal persons will be published according to a predetermined schedule. Oman's move to introduce a personal income tax sets it apart from other GCC countries, which currently do not have a personal income tax. While Oman is introducing a personal income tax, it already has a corporate tax framework in place. The standard income tax rate for businesses is 15 per cent. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) meeting specific criteria can benefit from a reduced tax rate of 3 per cent. Special provisions apply to the petroleum sector, with a tax rate of 55 per cent. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Egypt's chemical, fertilizer exports rise 18% in 4M 2025, reaching $3.14bln
Egypt's Chemicals and Fertilizers Export Council has reported an 18% year-on-year increase in sector exports during the first four months of 2025, with total exports reaching $3.14bn—up from approximately $2.73bn during the same period in 2024. Fertilizers led the sector's performance, generating $961m in export revenue, followed by plastics and polymers at $723m. Petrochemicals ranked third with $602m but recorded the highest growth among sub-sectors, surging 58% compared to the previous year. Turkey emerged as the top importer, purchasing $437m worth of Egyptian chemical and fertilizer products. It was followed by Italy ($396m), Spain ($187m), and Brazil (around $184m). Regionally, the European Union remained the largest export destination, accounting for 42% of total exports. Arab countries followed with 22%, and Asian markets with 16%. Khaled Abou El Makarem, Chairperson of the Chemicals and Fertilizers Export Council, said the divs reflect the sector's resilience and sustained growth despite global economic and geopolitical challenges. He emphasized the need to enhance the competitiveness of Egyptian products and accelerate market diversification—especially in Africa and Latin America. He added that the upcoming implementation of a new export subsidy rebate program in the second half of 2025 is expected to further stimulate the sector, helping achieve the Council's target of surpassing $9bn in total exports by year-end. Executive Director Mohamed Magid echoed these sentiments, highlighting the sector's strong performance as a testament to its ability to maintain momentum under pressure. He noted that the first-quarter results are a positive indicator of the global competitiveness of Egyptian products, despite ongoing regional conflicts and global economic headwinds that have disrupted fertilizer and petrochemical production worldwide. Magid also underlined the importance of developing industrial value chains and expanding specialized industries to further strengthen Egypt's export capabilities and support the state's broader goals for industrial and trade development. © 2024 Daily News Egypt.

He highlighted the constant follow-up on shipments from the farm to the destination market. Farouk called on the relevant ministry departments to continue their development and monitoring efforts and to provide all forms of support to agricultural producers to further grow the export sector and maintain the quality of Egyptian produce. © 2024 Daily News Egypt.
