S&P cuts outlook on Oman to negative | ZAWYA MENA Edition:
S&P Global Ratings said on Friday it cut its outlook on Oman to negative from stable while affirming its 'BB/B' long- and short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on the country.
"The negative outlook reflects the risk that in the absence of substantial fiscal measures to curtail the government deficit, or a more favorable external environment, fiscal and external buffers will continue to erode", the ratings agency said.

Iraq to host regional rivals #Iran and #SaudiArabia at conference - Reuters
Iraq to host regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia at conference - Reuters:
Iraq will host senior parliamentary officials from arch-rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran on Saturday as Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi seeks to bolster his country’s nascent role as a mediator in the region.
Delegations including the heads of parliament from Turkey, Kuwait, Syria and Jordan will also attend the one-day conference in the Iraqi capital to discuss regional security, diplomacy and economic issues.
Abdul Mahdi recently returned from visits to Iran and Saudi Arabia, both oil-super-powers that have long been vying for dominance in the Middle East. It is unusual for Saudi and Iranian officials to attend the same events.
