This handbook summarizes how Oman has developed its infrastructure and society.

Oman: A Country Study

Oman: A Country Study


By Federal Research Division
Since the development of Oman's infrastructure in the 1970s, national development plans have given priority to reducing dependency on oil exports and encouraging income-generating projects in non-oil sectors (diversification), promoting private sector investment, and effecting a wider geographical distribution of investments to correct regional imbalances.
Such a wider distribution is intended to narrow the gap in the standard of living in different regions, develop existing areas of population, and discourage migration to densely populated urban centers, such as Muscat, the capital.
Equally important are the national goals to develop local human resources, to increase indigenous participation in the private sector, and to improve government management and organization.
The country handbook summarizes all of these developments and much more. 192 pages. 2004.
