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.
