UAE forms 24% of imports
The UAE maintained its position as the top exporter to nearby Oman last year despite a sharp increase in China’s exports to the sultanate, official figures show.
The UAE, the second largest Arab economy and a major centre for re-exports, exported OR4 billion ($10 billion) to Oman in 2024 and accounted for almost a quarter of Oman’s total, according to the national centre for statistics and information (NCSI).
The UAE exports accounted for 23.5 percent of Oman’s total imports of goods of RO17 billion ($43 billion).
Major UAE exports to Oman were refined petroleum products, gold and broadcasting equipment, according to the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
China, the second largest exporter to the sultanate, exported OR2 billion ($5 billion), 68 percent above the 2023 number of OR1 billion ($3 billion), according to the NCSI.
