Oman's Strategic Step: Setting Up EWS to Predict Financial and Economic Crises


 

**Title: Oman's Strategic Step: Setting Up EWS to Predict Financial and Economic Crises**


Oman is embarking on a visionary endeavor in partnership with the Korea Development Institute (KDI) to establish an Early Warning System (EWS) aimed at predicting and preparing for financial and economic crises. The EWS project, a collaboration between Oman's Tawazun program and KDI, holds immense promise in fortifying the country's financial resilience. The proactive measures to be undertaken through this system are expected to mitigate the adverse effects of potential crises on Oman's financial landscape.

The recently introduced Early Warning System (EWS) is a critical stride towards securing Oman's economic stability. Driven by Oman's Tawazun program, which focuses on achieving fiscal balance amid oil price fluctuations, and bolstered by the expertise of KDI, the EWS aims to evaluate risks and uncertainties. By assessing key indicators such as debt levels, inflation rates, stock market volatility, and more, the system will generate timely signals that indicate the likelihood of a financial crisis within a specific timeframe. This valuable insight will empower the Omani government to take timely and effective actions, minimizing the impact on the financial system.

A pivotal moment in the EWS project was marked by a simulation of the forecasting model during a crucial meeting. Spearheaded by Dr. Woong Seob Zhin, a distinguished figure with a robust background in financial supervision, the model showcased the system's potential to anticipate financial crises. While an EWS cannot eliminate the uncertainty of financial crises, it equips policymakers with invaluable tools to anticipate challenges and devise strategies to mitigate their impact. The EWS initiative resonates with Oman's commitment to prudent economic planning and positions the nation as a proactive player in safeguarding its financial future.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
