A Nation on the move

The Sultanate of Oman, under the wise and able leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, has been taking rapid steps forward for the past 39 years. His Majesty’s foresight, perceptive vision and his astute policies have put Oman on the global map of economic prosperity. For almost half-a-decade decade, Oman Book has been annually highlighting the developments made by the country in the various socio-economic fields.

Oman 1970-2009, the fifth edition of this exclusive book, is dedicated to His Majesty's vision to create a modern country with state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure to take Oman further ahead on the road to prosperity. It focuses on the economic and social development of the Sultanate by keeping a central focus on the special measures taken by the government to meet the challenges as a result of the global recession. The elegantly designed annual coffee-table book, which is also available digitally in the form of an e-book, addresses how the policy of liberalisation and modernisation is paying rich dividends in the economic and social well-being and development of the Sultanate.

Featuring the major achievements in prominent sectors, analyses by domain experts and messages from the senior ministry officials, Oman 1970-2009 is a ready reference point for information including all important economic indicators in the Sultanate. With an excellent glossy production quality and superior editorial content, Oman 1970-2009 will certainly be treasured for a long time as a true testimony of modern Oman.
