About Oman's National Debt
Oman's debt climbed sharply when oil prices fell in the late 2010s, prompting fiscal reforms and a value-added tax; higher energy prices and consolidation have since eased the pressure.
Oman is one of the world's more fiscally conservative governments, with debt at 35% of GDP — a low ratio that leaves substantial headroom for stimulus or crisis response without threatening sustainability. By total government debt, Oman ranks 70th of the 138 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $63 per second, Oman adds about $0.0 billion to its national debt every day — roughly $2 billion per year. Each of Oman's 5 million citizens carries an individual share of approximately $8,620. That is below the world average of roughly $12,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock using linear extrapolation from IMF general government gross debt baselines (Fiscal Monitor / WEO April 2026) and national treasury data. Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
