Muscat: According to preliminary figures from the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), the uptick in GDP was fueled by a 4.1% rise in non-oil activities, which contributed RO 7.13 billion in Q1 2025, compared to RO 6.85 billion in Q1 2024.
Within the non-oil sectors, agriculture and fishing saw the highest growth at 11.1%, contributing RO 326.6 million. Industrial activities followed with a 2.8% rise, adding nearly RO 1.97 billion, while services—Oman’s largest economic contributor—grew by 4.2% to reach RO 4.84 billion.
Oil-related activities also played a significant role, with an overall increase of 6.8% in value-added contributions, reaching RO 3.71 billion.
