-- He is in charge of the country's finances after a third cabinet reshuffle in March led to the dismissal of then Minister of Finance and National Economy, Ahmad bin Abdul-Nabi Mekki, and eliminated the ministry altogether.

-- Some said the reshuffle was expected in response to protesters' grievances about corruption.

-- Protesters had pressed for political and labour reforms across Oman, where a series of concessions from Omani ruler Sultan Qaboos have failed to bring unrest to an end.
