Omani Women Finally Get a Home of Their Own
MUSCAT, Oman (TML) – Nawal Jamal Al-Bulushi, a 32-year-old Omani woman who works for a Muscat-based management consultancy, is waiting eagerly to see if her name is among one of those appearing in the lists of people entitled to a free grant of land from the government.
“The draws are held weekly, but I wish they could be held every day,” she says wistfully. “It’s something for the ladies to hold onto.”
Free land would be welcomed by anyone, but for Omani woman it has been something akin to a social revolution. Local law doesn’t automatically entitle women to a share of their husband’s property in a divorce and only 0.4% of all the country’s landowners are women. Many women say they remain in bad marriages for fear of being made homeless if they divorce.
Sheikha Saud Al-Araimi, 65 and from Sur, a coastal town, is already dreaming of her future home. Due to her age and social status, Araimi received a plot of government land soon after the first draw occurred in April. Widowed and childless, Araimi lives with her husband’s nephews and their family but aspires to live in a home of her own. Under Islamic Inheritance Law, she inherited some of her husband’s land after his death but not enough to build a house.
“If your husband died and you have no children, you now don’t have to worry about where you will live,” she told The Media Line.
The government is also supposed to assist Araimi, the widow, in obtaining funds to build a house on her new land. She can also sell her husband’s land to access further funds.
The new law also strikes a blow against traditional social attitudes, in which the male head of the household exercises the ultimate right to decide how to use family income; including money belonging to his daughter and wife. Single women will also enjoy unprecedented financial security.
For four decades, since the government began giving away land, the program had been reserved exclusively for men, but in 2008 the government decided to open up the grants program to all Omanis age 23 and over, including women. Priority is given to those who haven’t previously owned land. Not surprisingly, when the first gender-neutral land draw occurred last April, most of the 100 names were female.
“It’s very good for women to have equality, and it is especially important for women from less privileged backgrounds,” Ayesha Mohammed Al-Salti, an Education Ministry employee, married with five children, told The Media Line. “They can financially help out their husbands and fathers by selling their land, for example.”
Salti already owns land, so she will still have to wait for her name to be selected in the draw. Nonetheless, she has begun making plans about what she will do with her allotted plot of land.
“I may construct a house and rent it out,” she said. “However, if it happens to be too far away, I may just end up selling the land instead.”
Since 1970, the value of free land has increased exponentially, making the government handout especially valuable to women. Salti, for instance purchased a 700-square-meter plot of land 14 years ago in Al-Khod, about 43 kilometers (27 miles) from Muscat. At the time, the house cost her some $18,000, but with the steep rise of land prices in Oman since then, the land is now worth some $300,000.
Even with free land, women still face many obstacles to their dream home. While the right of women to own and use property is protected under Omani law, a 2005 United Nations Human Rights Commission report found that cultural norms often result in government officials denying women’s applications for housing grants and land ownership. Officials prefer to deal with their male relatives. Moreover, applications for housing loans are discriminatory, allowing fewer women the opportunity to become landowners.
“A simple, single-storey house with two to three bedrooms will cost 25,000 Omani riyals [about $60,000] to build,” Salti pointed out.
The government, for its part, has recently issued instructions that all loans from the public housing bank be distributed equally to any man or woman over the age of 21 owning a plot of land. But the new rules have yet to be tested.
Of Bulushi’s female friends and relatives who have already received the land, one has decided to sell the land, as she urgently requires the funds, while others are planning to build houses. Bulushi herself would like to build a large house six months or so after acquiring her plot of land. Both Bulushi and Salti feel strongly that they would like to keep their land in their possession.
The desire to build and own one’s home is strong among Omanis. While they may work in the capital, Muscat, they are likely to construct their family home in the town where they were born.

Nepal Doing Well During Economic Slowdown
Kathmandu, Nepal (AHN) – In spite of a protracted political stalemate in the country for the past year and a half, Nepal has done well in getting its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) back in rhythm, thanks to foreign remittances.
A recent United Nations report indicated that Nepal is among the countries whose real GDP didn’t experience a slowdown due to the global financial crisis. Bangladesh and Bhutan from South Asia suffered a decline in the GDP in the range of 0-3 percent as a result of the financial crisis, said the Least Developed Countries Report 2010 released here.
The report revealed that Nepal performed better on the remittance front compared to other least developed countries (LDCs). The report was prepared by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
Nepal and Bangladesh were the only countries among eight LDC nations that did not suffer a decline in remittance flow into the country in 2009. Excluding those countries, remittances to LDCs fell by more than 2 percent, the report stated.
Remittance flow to Nepal is estimated to reach US$3.5 billion in 2010. Nepal received payments worth US$2.98 billion in 2009. The World Bank’s latest report says remittance flows worldwide are expected to reach US$440 billion by the end of the year.
Although the amount of remittances has grown, Nepal has suffered a decline in the growth rate of remittances. Nepal’s decline in exports, rising imports and the slow growth of remittances resulted in an acute balance of payments deficit.
Nepal is also among the countries witnessing an increase in foreign direct investment, according to the report.
Nepali government officials are also concerned about the stagnant economic situation of the country. “Although Nepal had witnessed significant progress in the human development index over the last three decades in terms of education and health sector, we still lag behind in the economic growth, water and sanitation, employment generation and climate change,” Jagadish Chandra Pokharel, vice-chairman of the National Planning Commission, said in releasing the report.

Thanksgiving Weekend Yields 6 Percent Rise In Sales
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – A survey of 4,300 Americans by the National Retail Federation showed that average spending for the Thanksgiving weekend was $365, a 6 percent increase from a year ago.
The higher spending was caused by more Americans shopping, from 195 million in 2009 to 212 million from Thursday to Sunday this year. It is the highest number of Thanksgiving weekend shoppers since the NRF conducted the first survey in 2004.
Total sales hit $45 billion, up from $41.2 billion in the last two years. A large part of the sales were done online.
However, the NRF cautioned industry from using this year’s data as an indicator of the forthcoming yearend holiday spending. The federation cited 2008 when average Thanksgiving weekend spending reached $373, but the Christmas holiday spending was one of the worst on record.
The NRF explained that on Black Friday, buyers are focused on bargain hunts, while during better economic times people shop even for regularly priced items.
ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based research company, estimated Black Friday sales alone at $10.7 billion, which is just a 0.3 percent rise from last year’s figure.
To bring back shoppers to stores after two years of weak Thanksgiving sales, retailers such as Sears Holdings and Toys “R” Us begun their Black Friday sales a day ahead. Sears opened at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and offered huge discounts, such as 55 percent off on a high-definition plasma TV.

British Government Postpones Housing Benefit Caps Until January 2012
London, England, United Kingdom (AHN) – The British coalition government will postpone a planned cap on housing benefits for tenants in private rented units to January 2012. The delay was instituted by fears that councils will not have sufficient time to prepare for the exodus of tenants from big cities with high rent and place pressure on schools and other public services in areas where rent is lower.
The housing benefit ranges from $375 (GBP 250) for a one-bedroom unit to $600 (GBP 400) for a four-bedroom house. The planned caps were expected to trigger a mass transfer to lower-rent homes. London Councils estimate more than 18,000 London households would be affected by the planned caps. About 79 percent are families with children.
The caps would save the coalition government $75 million (GBP 50 million) a year.
The government is also reviewing the current policy that allows second home owners to apply for a 10 to 50 percent reduction of council tax on properties. Ministers are seeking removal of the tax breaks because those who could afford to own second homes should have enough resources to pay more levies.
However, rural groups are opposing the planned abolition of the tax breaks, charging home prices could become inflated in desirable parts of the countryside.
