As Oman works to implement a 20-year policy agenda intended to reshape the economy and society, this country review presents an overview of policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks as they relate to digital transformation. It also explores existing collaborative regulatory practices and areas of potential overlap as the ICT sector continues to evolve in Oman and around the world.

The research and analysis involved a review of policy, legal, and regulatory instruments as well as interviews conducted with stakeholders in the public and private sectors. The stakeholder interviews provide valuable insight and context for the frameworks in place, indicating the positive and challenging impacts on their activities and operations as well as on the overall sector. The report also leverages ITU resources, including the Unified Framework introduced in 2023 for considering the readiness of countries’ policy, governance, and legal frameworks to enable digital transformation and the ITU digital innovation profile of Oman.

The country review provides high-level policy brief and recommendations informed by research, analysis, stakeholder interviews, and ongoing global discussions on digital technologies and services.
