Overall employment opportunities during 2022 increased by 16.2 percent, reflecting the impact of sustained recovery of economic activities in the post-pandemic period, the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) said in its Annual Report for the year 2022. “The employment opportunities for Omani citizens and expatriate workers increased by 3.6 percent and 23.3 percent, respectively. A sharp increase in expatriate workers during 2022 primarily reflected the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic,” the report added.
