Muscat: According to preliminary data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information, Oman’s GDP at market prices stood at RO 10.414 billion in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 0.4 per cent decline compared to RO 10.454 billion recorded in the same period of 2024.
The marginal contraction was largely attributed to a slowdown in oil activities, which fell by 6 per cent to RO 3.471 billion in Q3 2025, down from RO 3.693 billion a year earlier.
In contrast, non-oil activities continued to demonstrate resilience, growing by 2.5 per cent year-on-year to reach RO 7.291 billion, compared to RO 7.116 billion in the third quarter of 2024.
