IMF sees Oman’s growth forecast for 2026 at 3.5%

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Oman’s economy to grow by 3.5 per cent in 2026, before easing slightly to 3.4 per cent in 2027, according to its latest World Economic Outlook released on Tuesday.

The IMF said Oman is among a group of countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, expected to face a more limited impact from regional conflict.

The Fund said Oman’s relative resilience reflects lower exposure to severe disruptions to energy infrastructure and export routes.

However, it added that the outlook remains uncertain, particularly if disruptions to energy production or shipping routes intensify or persist longer than expected.
