Oman’s GDP Surges by 4.6% in Q4 2025: Implications for Investors and Business Growth
Oman’s GDP Reaches RO42.143 Billion by End of 2025
As of December 2025, the Sultanate of Oman’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices stood at RO42.143 billion, reflecting a 2.3 percent increase from RO41.194 billion in 2024.
Preliminary data from the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) indicates that the GDP experienced a significant growth of 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025, reaching RO11.061 billion.
This economic expansion marked a notable shift within the energy sector. While the value of crude oil activities decreased by 6.9 percent, bringing it down to RO2.648 billion, the natural gas sector saw a remarkable growth of 69.2 percent, rising from RO507.4 million to RO858.7 million. This increase in gas value effectively offset the decline in oil revenues, resulting in an overall 4.6 percent growth in total oil activities for the quarter.
In addition to the energy sector, non-oil activities expanded by 4.8 percent, reaching RO7.784 billion in the fourth quarter. The services sector notably increased by 6.4 percent, totaling RO5.431 billion. Other non-oil sectors also contributed positively; the agriculture and fishing sector saw a 5.9 percent rise to RO272.4 million, while industrial activities recorded a modest increase of 0.7 percent, amounting to RO2.080 billion.
These figures highlight the Sultanate’s commitment to economic diversification and its resilience in sustaining growth through various revenue streams, despite fluctuations in global crude oil prices.

Oman’s GDP growth to RO42.143 billion reflects a resilient economy increasingly bolstered by the natural gas sector, which surged by 69.2%, indicating opportunities in energy diversification for investors. However, the decline in crude oil activities presents a risk, necessitating businesses to adapt and innovate within the evolving energy landscape. Smart investors should prioritize sectors poised for growth, particularly renewable energy and services, to leverage the Sultanate’s commitment to economic diversification.
