JEDDAH: Oman’s nominal gross domestic product grew by 2.6 percent at the end of the second quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2023. The growth was primarily driven by a 5 percent increase in the non-hydrocarbon sector. However, it was partially offset by a 1.4 percent reduction in hydrocarbon sector production, according to preliminary data from the National Center for Statistics and Information. Real GDP also saw an increase of 1.9 percent, with the non-hydrocarbon sector contributing 4.2 percent to this expansion.
