Wirtschafts- und Branchenüberblick
Oman is a high-income developing economy in the Arabian Peninsula whose fiscal base remains heavily anchored in hydrocarbon revenues from crude oil and liquefied natural gas. The government's Vision 2040 strategy aims to diversify GDP into tourism, logistics, manufacturing, and financial services while reducing dependence on oil to under 20% of government revenues. Non-hydrocarbon sectors—including logistics, construction, and petrochemicals—have shown accelerating growth, with non-oil GDP expanding approximately 3.3% in 2024. Oman achieved an investment-grade sovereign credit rating upgrade in September 2024, reflecting improved fiscal management and declining public debt. The Muscat Stock Exchange has grown rapidly, with market capitalisation more than doubling since 2020 through a series of significant state-enterprise IPOs.
