01 · Competitive advantage
Where Oman is competitive.
Each of Oman’s 96 export categories is scored for genuine competitive advantage and tracked over a decade. Eighteen are strong and rising, twenty-five are gaining ground, and the remainder are classified without flattery.
02 · Risk exposure
Exposure to partner shocks.
Model a downturn in any trading partner and ORBIT quantifies the impact on Omani exports in dollars, sector by sector, with a range from the likely outcome to the worst case. A stress test without that range is only a guess.
