Oman, with a population of around 5.50 million people, has a GDP of approximately 104.35 billion making it the 70th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Oman is the Omani Rial (OMR)
The economy is driven by the export of oil and natural gas, with ongoing efforts to diversify into tourism, logistics, and manufacturing. It is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and has a free trade agreement with the United States.
The most popular electronic payment method in Oman is the debit card, which is widely accepted across the country. Mobile banking apps, such as the one from Bank Muscat, are frequently used for bill payments, transfers, and increasingly for QR code payments. Despite high digital adoption, physical cash in the form of the Omani Rial is still used for many day-to-day transactions.
