Composite Assessment
The Vision 2040 Overall Scorecard aggregates performance across all 12 national priorities to provide a single composite view of Oman’s transformation progress. As of Q4 2025, the composite score stands at 47/100, reflecting strong fiscal and governance progress offset by slower delivery in social development and economic diversification.

Composite Score Methodology
The composite score is calculated using a weighted average of progress across all tracked KPIs within each priority. Weights reflect the relative strategic importance assigned by the Implementation Follow-up Unit (IFU) and are adjusted to account for data recency and reliability.
Cross-Priority Analysis
Strongest Performance
Governance and Institutional Reform remains the standout area, driven by the ministry restructuring, Basic Law amendments, and anti-corruption improvements. Fiscal sustainability has also performed well, with the deficit reduction from -15.3% to -2.1% of GDP representing one of the GCC’s most impressive consolidations.
Areas of Concern
Education and Research continues to lag, with PISA scores below OECD averages and university rankings improving slowly. Governorate Development faces structural challenges in directing investment and economic activity beyond Muscat.
Key Interdependencies
The scorecard reveals critical interdependencies between priorities. Labour market reform depends on education quality improvements. Private sector growth requires regulatory modernisation. Environmental sustainability intersects with the energy transition and tourism development.
Trend Analysis
Of the 12 priorities, 6 show improving trends, 5 are stable, and 1 (Labour Market) shows early signs of stagnation that require policy intervention. The overall trajectory is positive but below the pace required to meet 2040 targets across all priorities simultaneously.
Methodology Notes
Scores are normalised to a 0-100 scale where 0 represents the 2020 baseline and 100 represents full achievement of 2040 targets. A score of 47 at the 30% mark of the implementation period (2020-2040) suggests Oman is broadly on trajectory but with limited margin for slippage.
