The IMF report “Fostering Entrepreneurship and SMEs to Support Economic Diversification in Oman” (2025) highlights the vital role of small and medium-sized enterprises in driving Oman’s economic diversification under Vision 2040. It examines the challenges SMEs face—such as access to finance, regulatory hurdles, and limited integration into value chains—and offers policy recommendations to strengthen entrepreneurship, expand financing options, and enhance linkages with larger firms and economic zones. The report provides evidence-based insights for supporting sustainable SME growth and innovation in Oman.
