Oman’s middle-income economy relies heavily on its oil resources, which has been dwindling over the years. However, the economy is still sustained by increased oil production as advanced oil recovery methods have been implemented. High global oil prices coupled with increased production provided the country with extra time to diversify and extra revenue to invest in other sectors.
