What the numbers say
In 2025, Oman's primary income receipts (BoP, current US$) rose 61.2% on 2024 (from US$934.85 million to US$1.51 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +16.2% and a typical year strayed about 58.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 167.1% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 66.7% in 1976. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
