The Muscat Securities Market (MSM, Arabic: سوق مسقط للأوراق المالية) is the only stock exchange in Oman.

[2] It was established by the Royal Decree (53/88) issued on 21 June 1988, to regulate and control the Omani securities market and to participate, effectively, with other organisations for setting up the infrastructure of the Sultanate's financial sector.

The Market has developed its existing system of clearance and settlement, by introducing a new mechanism for ensuring stable dealings in securities, as well as providing a better environment attracting foreign investment into Oman.

[citation needed] From its inception, Muscat Securities Market has issued instructions and regulations as required to ensure that it attains its objectives and performs its duties and responsibilities with the utmost efficiency and fairness, and in conformity with a technical platform of the new electronic trading system, with intensive working on solid infrastructure enabling trading through the Internet.

The new system ensures provision of the data and information immediately for the supervisory authorities, to enable them activating the regulatory role in trading.
