Oman sets five priorities to prepare for global shifts by 2030

Muscat: Oman sets five key priorities for the 2026–2030 period as part of efforts to strengthen its readiness for global transformations and achieve sustainable development under Oman Vision 2040.

The priorities focus on energy and artificial intelligence, minerals and hydrogen, climate risks, the labour market, and fiscal sustainability and the digital economy.

In the energy and artificial intelligence sector, the focus will be on linking renewable energy projects with data centres and developing national computing capabilities to support the country's digital transformation.

For minerals and hydrogen, the priorities include strengthening local manufacturing and increasing the value added of resources before export, supporting the development of domestic industries and maximising the economic benefits of natural resources.

Climate risks will also receive attention through the development of a national framework and the introduction of climate risk pricing by 2028.

On the labour market, the plan focuses on developing future skills, improving productivity and aligning educational and training outcomes with labour market requirements.

The fifth priority, fiscal sustainability and the digital economy, aims to diversify government revenues, strengthen fiscal sustainability and develop regulatory frameworks that support economic growth.

The five priorities reflect Oman's efforts to build a more resilient and diversified economy, strengthen its ability to respond to global changes and create new opportunities for sustainable growth by 2030.
