MUSCAT: Oman’s gross domestic product at current prices stood at RO 10.414 billion in the third quarter of 2025, recording a slight decline of 0.4 per cent compared with RO 10.454 billion in the same period of 2024.
Preliminary figures from the National Centre for Statistics and Information indicated that the marginal contraction was mainly due to weaker oil sector performance. Oil activities fell by 6 per cent to RO 3.4713 billion in the third quarter of 2025, compared with RO 3.6932 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
In contrast, non-oil activities continued to expand, growing by 2.5 per cent to reach RO 7.2916 billion, up from RO 7.1162 billion in the third quarter of 2024.
Within the non-oil economy, construction activity increased by 2.2 per cent to RO 817.4 million. Wholesale and retail trade rose by 2.1 per cent, contributing RO 880.1 million, while public administration and defence recorded growth of 2.8 per cent to reach RO 966.8 million during the quarter. — ONA
