Oman’s import prices jump 11.7% as fuel costs surge

Oman experienced a significant year-on-year surge of 11.7% in its import prices during the second quarter, driven primarily by a dramatic 45.5% increase in mineral fuel costs.

On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the overall import price index also registered a 2% increase compared to the first quarter. This upward trend reflects broader energy-market disruptions and rising shipping expenses linked to ongoing regional conflicts.
