Political Economy

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)

OMAN

Net oil revenues increased by 25.8 percent during the period January through August 2001 compared to the same period in 2000; however, this is due to a quirk in Oman's official accounting, whereby oil revenues up to a set price ($14.50 in 2000, and $18.00 in 2001) are counted as revenue, while excess revenues are quietly credited to the State General Reserve Fund.
