Abstract


ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the role of political leadership in achieving economic
transformation in the Sultanate of Oman during the reign of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq over the period (2020–2025). It examines the impact of key economic policy variables, namely digital transformation, government effectiveness, and unemployment rate, on both GDP growth and fiscal balance. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach and employs statistical techniques including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and linear regression. The findings indicate the existence of correlations among the variables; however, regression results show no statistically significant relationship between political leadership and GDP growth, while a significant positive relationship is found with fiscal balance. These results suggest that political leadership had a stronger impact on fiscal stability than on economic growth, highlighting the importance of governance and digital transformation in supporting economic sustainability.
