Iran War Impacts Gulf Economies Differently, Oman Sees Economic Growth
The ongoing Iran war has disrupted trade, aviation, and energy sectors across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, causing economic contractions in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, Oman has leveraged its strategic location and diplomatic efforts to achieve projected economic growth of 4.1% this year, attracting investment in ports, finance, and tourism. While regional tensions persist, Oman’s relative stability and geopolitical positioning have boosted its market performance amid broader Gulf economic challenges.
