oman ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Oman is a middle-income economy that is heavily dependent on dwindling
oil resources. Because of declining reserves and a rapidly growing labor force,
Muscat has actively pursued a development plan that focuses on diversification,
industrialization, and privatization, with the objective of reducing the oil
sector's contribution to GDP to 9% by 2020 and creating more jobs to employ the
rising numbers of Omanis entering the workforce. Tourism and gas-based
industries are key components of the government's diversification strategy.
However, increases in social welfare benefits, particularly since the Arab
Spring, will challenge the government's ability to effectively balance its
budget if oil revenues decline. By using enhanced oil recovery techniques, Oman
succeeded in increasing oil production, giving the country more time to
diversify, and the increase in global oil prices through 2011 provided the
government greater financial resources to invest in non-oil sectors. In 2012,
continued surpluses resulting from sustained high oil prices and increased
enhanced oil recovery allowed the government to maintain growth in social
subsidies and public sector job creation. However, the Sultan made widely
reported statements indicating this would not be sustainable, and called for
expanded efforts to support SME development and entrepreneurship. Government
agencies and large oligarchic group companies heeded his call, announcing new
initiatives to spin off non-essential functions to entrepreneurs, incubate new
businesses, train and mentor up and coming business people, and provide
financing for start-ups. In response to fast growth in household indebtedness,
the Central Bank reduced the ceiling on personal interest loans from 8 to 7%,
lowered mortgage rates, capped the percentage of consumer loans at 50% of
borrower's salaries for personal loans and 60% for housing loans, and limited
maximum repayment terms to 10 and 25 years respectively. In 2012 the Central
Bank also issued final regulations governing Islamic banking and two
full-fledged Islamic banks held oversubscribed IPOs while four traditional
banks opened sharia-compliant Islamic windows.
