Oman Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Oman's government revenue was 28.86% in 2025, ranked 79th globally. This represents a 9.8% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Oman's government revenue stood at 28.86% in 2025, a decline of +3.14% from 2024. The IMF projects 28.86% by 2025. Oman ranked 79th globally.
Oman’s government revenue has fallen markedly since the turn of the millennium, slipping from an all‑time peak of 43.38 percent of GDP in 2000 to a trough of 24.99 percent in 2016, before modestly recovering to 28.86 percent in 2025, which places the Sultanate at 79th in the global ranking. The decline reflects the combined impact of lower oil prices, reduced hydrocarbon production and fiscal consolidation measures that constrained non‑oil revenue streams. By contrast, peer economies such as Türkiye and Mauritius posted comparable 2025 revenue ratios of 28.86 percent and 28.96 percent respectively, underscoring a regional convergence among resource‑dependent and diversified states. The 2025 figure remains well below the 1990 level of 41.28 percent, indicating that Oman has yet to regain the fiscal capacity of the early reform era. Continued diversification of the tax base and the development of non‑hydrocarbon sectors will be crucial if the upward trajectory observed since 2016 is to be sustained.
