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's debt-to-GDP ratio of 35% is low by international standards: higher than 18% of the 135 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Oman ranks 88th of the 135 governments tracked here.
Oman's government debt is currently falling, by roughly $7 per second — about $605 thousand per day — in US-dollar terms. That can reflect repayment or a weakening currency; the projection behind it does not say which. Each of Oman's 5 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $6,976. That is below the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
Figures are computed by Global Debt Clock by linear extrapolation from each country's baseline figure, named in the source line on this page (for most countries, the IMF World Economic Outlook, October 2026). Actual debt changes through discrete bond issuances — these counters illustrate the approximate scale and pace of sovereign borrowing.
