DUBAI- Oman has hired a group of banks to arrange investor calls ahead of a planned three-tranche issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, a document showed on Monday, as it seeks to shore up its finances hit by weak oil prices and the coronavirus crisis.

Oman hired Bank Muscat, Citi, First Abu Dhabi Bank, HSBC, Natixis, Societe Generale and Standard Chartered to arrange the investor calls, the document from one of the banks arranging the deal showed. An issuance comprising three, seven and 12-year tranches would follow, subject to market conditions.
