OMAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Oman is heavily dependent on oil and gas resources, which can generate between and 68% and 85% of government revenue, depending on fluctuations in commodity prices. In 2016, low global oil prices drove Oman’s budget deficit to $13.8 billion, or approximately 20% of GDP, but the budget deficit is estimated to have reduced to 12% of GDP in 2017 as Oman reduced government subsidies. As of January 2018, Oman has sufficient foreign assets to support its currency’s fixed exchange rates. It is issuing debt to cover its deficit.

Oman is using enhanced oil recovery techniques to boost production, but it has simultaneously pursued a development plan that focuses on diversification, industrialization, and privatization, with the objective of reducing the oil sector's contribution to GDP. The key components of the government's diversification strategy are tourism, shipping and logistics, mining, manufacturing, and aquaculture.

Muscat also has notably focused on creating more Omani jobs to employ the rising number of nationals entering the workforce. However, high social welfare benefits - that had increased in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring - have made it impossible for the government to balance its budget in light of current oil prices. In response, Omani officials imposed austerity measures on its gasoline and diesel subsidies in 2016. These spending cuts have had only a moderate effect on the government’s budget, which is projected to again face a deficit of $7.8 billion in 2018.

OPERATIONS

 

Activities: Engaged in the production of hot direct reduced iron (HDRI).

 

The project is conceived in three phases. Phase-I consists of putting up the facilities to produce 1.5 million tonnes of Hot Direct Reduced Iron (HDRI). The steel making facility to produce 1.1 million tonnes of steel billets is being installed in phase-II. The project also envisages converting the billets into seamless tube, sections and bars in phase-III.

 

The construction of the phase-I of the plant started in the second quarter of 2006. The facilities in this phase includes a Mega Module-Midrex with Hot link facility and other support facilities like Air Separation Plant, Desalination plant, Main Receiving Substation for power supply, Raw Material Handling System and a jetty of 600 metre length and 19 metre draft capable to handle cape size vessels bringing pellets to the plant. These support facilities are planned to meet the requirements up to steel making stage.

Jindal Shadeed Iron and Steel Co's rebar rolling mill project, with 1.4mn-tonnes-per-annum (MTPA) production capacity, will be commissioned in the first quarter of 2016.

Cold trial is expected in October this year, according to leading Indian producer Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL), which owns the Oman plant.

In its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2015, JSPL said its Oman operation continued its robust performance during the first quarter. “At the Oman plant, billet and rounds production increased to 0.25MT. Similarly sales and Ebitda on a year-on-year basis grew by six per cent and nine per cent respectively. The rolling mill project with a capacity of 1.4MTPA rebar is progressing well and cold trial is expected in October. The mill will be commissioned in the first quarter of 2016,” JSPL said.

Planned Production Capacity: 7 million tonnes per annum

 

Import Countries: Japan, Europe and the United States of America
