projects, US$ 1.2 billion to housing, US$ 4.2 billion to airport expansion and construction, US$ 3.1 billion to road projects, US$ 1.3 billion to seaports, and US$ 1.2 billion to the utilities sector. It plans to spend US$ 110.9 billion during this period. (Oxford Business Group, Oman Report 2012) The construction sector contributed more than US$ 800 million to the economy during the first quarter of 2012, showing growth of almost 4% compared to the same period in 2011.
