A plan with a long view
Oman Vision 2040 is a national plan. It covers the years 2021 to 2040. The plan gives the country a direction for its future. It includes people's lives and the economy. Business activity affects the work people do and the money they earn.
The government uses the vision to make shorter plans. Each of these plans covers five years. This gives the work smaller steps.
More ways to earn money
Oman wants more kinds of business. Oil and gas are important to its economy. The country also wants other ways to earn money. Factories make goods, and tourism brings visitors. Digital businesses use computers and online services.
These three areas are central to the plan for 2026 to 2030. The plan aims for growth in these areas. The government wants them to grow, but the work takes time.
Work beyond one company
A business needs people with skills. Workers use their skills to help businesses produce and sell goods. The vision includes jobs and skills. It also gives private businesses a large part in the economy.
Private businesses can work with other companies. A small company can sell goods to a larger one. This is one way for work to spread. The vision supports links between small and large businesses.
Places to live and work
The vision includes different parts of Oman. It supports development in towns and rural areas. Local communities have a place in the plan. The vision supports their role in setting local priorities.
Transport is part of this work. Roads and other transport links help people move between places. The vision calls for transport that people can reach easily. It also includes public services in places where people live.
Care for water and energy
New businesses need water and energy. The vision includes care for natural resources. Companies need these resources as their activities grow.
The World Bank describes work with Oman on clean energy and using less water. It also names tourism and transport in its work with the country. These areas can connect. A growing business uses resources, so the way it uses them matters too.
A direction and work ahead
The government's plan brings business and everyday life together. It aims to create more work and support a better life. Companies, government, and communities all have a part.
Oman issues reports on the vision's work and results. Progress can then be compared with the aims in the plan. The country still needs useful changes for people, made by businesses and government.
