Oman today_ Oman has maintained its position among the world’s top 10 economies with a remarkable performance. According to the 2025 edition of the International Aggregate Ranking of Economic Management (IAREM), the country scored 18.78, placing it eighth globally and reinforcing its image as a stable and secure destination for investment amid global economic uncertainty.
This achievement continues a positive trend observed last year, when Oman ranked sixth in the 2024 IAREM index. The IAREM ranks countries based on eight key macroeconomic indicators, including per capita income, GDP growth, employment levels, inflation, tax pressure, public debt, and budget balance.
Oman’s consistent presence in the top ranks reflects the country’s prudent and well-calculated approach to economic and fiscal policymaking. A favorable business environment, coherent financial management, and a strong focus on employment have been cited as major factors behind this success.
Experts attribute these results to the implementation of key reforms outlined in Oman Vision 2040—a strategic roadmap aimed at diversifying the economy and investing in sectors such as infrastructure, logistics, and technology. Additionally, Oman’s investment-grade credit rating with a stable outlook, maintained by international agency Standard & Poor’s, has helped boost investor confidence. This confidence stems from improved fiscal sustainability, a reduction in public debt, and greater transparency in the government’s economic management.
