The outlook remains stable. At the same time, Standard&Poor's Transfer&Convertibility risk assessment was affirmed at 'AA-'. "The ratings on Oman are supported by the government's strong fiscal position, together with the country's solid external finances and increasing wealth levels," said Standard&Poor's credit analyst Luc Marchand. They remain constrained by a heavy economic dependence on hydrocarbons, geopolitical tensions in the region, and, in the longer term, comparatively low visibility regarding policy direction under a succession scenario.
