Definition
Like other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nationalisation policies (Saudi Arabia’s Saudisation, UAE’s Emiratisation), Omanisation addresses the structural reality that Gulf private sectors have historically been dominated by cheaper expatriate labour.

11.6% (2016) → ~18.5% (2024) → 35% target (2030) → 40% target (2040)
Why It Matters
Omanisation is the policy of increasing Omani nationals’ share of the private sector workforce — a labour market nationalisation policy targeting 40% private sector Omani employment by 2040.
