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.
