A BRIEF BUSINESS JOURNEY

From Frankincense to Future Energy: Oman’s Economic Evolution


For centuries, Oman was known as a nation of traders — its ports buzzed with ships carrying frankincense, copper, and dates across the Indian Ocean, making it one of the oldest maritime economies in the region. In the 1960s, the discovery of oil transformed Oman’s economy, laying the foundation for modern infrastructure and public services while maintaining its deeply rooted culture of hospitality and stability.

Fast-forward to 2016: Oman launched Vision 2040, an ambitious national roadmap to move beyond oil by investing in logistics, manufacturing, tourism, and clean energy. The COVID-19 pandemic and oil price shocks of 2020 became a catalyst, not a setback — Oman accelerated reforms, introduced VAT, cut public debt by over 30%, and opened its economy to 100% foreign ownership.

By 2024, global manufacturers had set up in Sohar and Duqm, while Oman emerged as a first-mover in green hydrogen, partnering with European companies on renewable mega-projects.


Today, Oman is a confident, forward-facing economy — fiscally sound, politically stable, and wide open for international business.
