Muscat: National Centre for Statistics and Information will begin implementing the Digital Economy Survey 2025 tomorrow, Sunday, to measure the contribution of the digital economy to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Sultanate of Oman. The survey will continue until mid-August 2026.
The survey targets institutions operating in information and communication technology (ICT) activities, companies providing e-commerce services, and digital intermediation platforms, in addition to a sample of establishments representing various economic sectors across the Sultanate.
Abdulaziz bin Khamis bin Mohammed Al Sunaidi, Director of the National Accounts Department at the NCSI, said the survey forms part of the Centre’s efforts to measure the size of the digital economy and monitor its contribution to the national economy.
He explained that the survey will support the development of accurate indicators to assist decision-makers in formulating economic policies and advancing digital transformation initiatives in Oman.
Al Sunaidi told the Oman News Agency that the survey results will enable the estimation of the digital economy’s contribution to GDP for 2025 at current prices, based on the three internationally recognised classifications of the digital economy: the basic, narrow, and broad digital economy.
He noted that the survey represents one of the important statistical projects aimed at keeping pace with rapid economic and technological developments.
The NCSI stated that data collection will be conducted electronically through a dedicated survey link. The Centre will communicate directly with targeted institutions and provide the necessary technical support, urging establishments to cooperate and provide the required data to enhance the quality and accuracy of statistical outputs.
