Issued in 1990, this stamp commemorates the 5th anniversary of the Gulf Investment Corporation (GIC), a financial institution established in 1984 by the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to promote economic development and investment throughout the Gulf region. The corporation was created to support industrial projects, encourage private-sector growth, and strengthen economic cooperation among the Gulf states through strategic investments and development initiatives.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Sultanate of Oman highlighted the importance of regional economic integration and cooperation in promoting sustainable development. The issue celebrated the achievements of the Gulf Investment Corporation during its first five years and emphasized the role of investment, industrial growth, and financial collaboration in strengthening the economies of GCC member countries and fostering long-term prosperity throughout the region.
