RIYADH: According to official figures, Oman’s GDP expanded by 2.3 percent in 2025 thanks to a recovery in natural gas activity and consistent growth in non-oil industries. The National Center for Statistics and Information reports that the gross domestic product for the entire year was 42.14 billion Omani rials ($109.88 billion) at current prices.
GDP increased 4.6 percent year over year to roughly 11.06 billion rials in the fourth quarter, indicating increased activity in both the hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon sectors. As the sultanate moves forward with budgetary reforms and initiatives to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons, the evidence suggests that economic resilience is improving.
The International Monetary Fund stated in January that Oman’s reform program is bolstering economic stability and promoting a positive outlook, emphasizing ongoing advancements in structural improvements and fiscal consolidation.
According to NCSI, the nation’s oil activity increased by 4.6% to 3.51 billion rials in the fourth quarter of 2025. In the fourth quarter, the natural gas sector’s value rose to 858.70 million rials, a 69.2 percent annual rise.
On the other hand, the crude oil industry’s value dropped by 6.9% to 2.65 billion rials. With a 4.8% growth in the fourth quarter, the nation’s non-oil industry continued to operate well and shown consistent economic diversification.
