Muscat: The Minister of Commerce and Industry, during a session with the Shura Council, highlighted the robust performance of Oman’s commerce sector. He stated that in 2024, the sector contributed approximately RO 3.225 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant prices, representing 8.3 percent of the total GDP.

The Minister also noted that the commerce sector achieved a cumulative growth rate of 6.6 percent during the Tenth Five-Year Development Plan, underlining its steady expansion.
