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.
