OMAN

Oman does not publish figures on the level of its external debt or its fund to meet future contingencies and the State General Reserve Fund (SGRF). The 1998 budget crunch required a draw down of $704 million from the SGRF in 1998. The government continued its policy of withdrawal from the SGRF in 1999, 2000 and 2001 in spite of higher oil prices. (references)
