Oman is a crucial GCC nation and has grown in wealth and stature
in recent decades since it obtained its independence. It has
expanded in its popularity as a country of business and also a
nation which receives numerous visitors and foreign residents.
The country is one which, much like most of the other nations in
the region, discovered oil and made decent gains through this.
However, oil is only a temporary resource, finite in nature, and
the Middle Eastern countries are aware of this.
Oman has resources beyond just oil though, and in more recent
years, their economic options have grown too. In the area of
resources, Oman does have minerals and metals to mine and obtain,
and in line with this, they have recently introduced new
regulations to ensure the industry grows and provides them with
further economic variety.
