Introduction to Omani Economy

¿The development is not an end in itself. Somewhat, it occurs for constructing the man. So, development needs not to stop at the accomplishment of material wealth and a diversified economy. It needs to move beyond that to add to the construction of the Omani national who is capable of taking part in the process of growth and achieve development. These aims can be attained with the aid of improvement of the citizen¿s technical and professional capability, the inspiration of their creative and scientific abilities, and the enhancement of their varied skills. All these must be headed towards serving the State and achieving the welfare of all citizens.¿ His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, Sultan of Oman
