Data-driven narratives that reveal trends, patterns, and insights from Oman's development data.

Data Stories

Data-driven narratives that transform Oman’s official statistics into analytical insight. Each story uses longitudinal datasets, cross-country benchmarks, and visual evidence to reveal the trends that headline figures obscure.

A Decade of Data: 2015–2025 tracks the macro indicators that define Oman’s pre- and post-reform trajectory. FDI Flows Over a Decade disaggregates foreign investment by sector and source country, testing the diversification narrative against capital-flow evidence. Oil Price–GDP Correlation quantifies the fiscal linkage that Vision 2040 aims to weaken. Omanisation by Numbers measures labour-nationalisation outcomes against stated targets.

Each piece combines quantitative rigour with narrative clarity, sourced from NCSI, Central Bank of Oman, World Bank, and IMF datasets.
