Country Comparisons
Structured, evidence-based comparisons benchmarking Oman’s economic performance, institutional quality, and development trajectory against regional and global peers. Each comparison contextualises Oman’s Vision 2040 progress within the competitive landscape that shapes investment decisions, policy benchmarking, and strategic positioning.
GCC comparisons cover the bilateral dynamics that define Oman’s immediate competitive environment — from Oman vs UAE economy and Oman vs Saudi diversification to Oman vs Qatar gas and Oman vs Kuwait reform. These comparisons address the resource endowment asymmetries, population scale differences, and policy approach variations that make each GCC state a distinct case despite shared regional characteristics.
Global comparisons benchmark Oman against emerging-market peers facing analogous challenges — Oman vs Malaysia diversification examines a successful commodity-dependent economy that achieved manufacturing transformation, while Oman vs Norway sovereign fund assesses sovereign wealth management models. Sectoral comparisons such as oil vs non-oil GDP and renewable vs fossil energy cut across geographies to address the structural transitions shaping Oman’s economic future.
