As per statistics released by the Omani government, around 55,000 foreigners who worked previously in Oman have already been fired by enterprises in the last year.

Even as the government continues its Omanization campaign, the shift is part of Oman's ongoing goal to replace immigrant labour with locals from the country's pool of workers. The expatriate workforce in Qatar has been as high as 95%, although it was 94 per cent in the UAE, 83 % in Kuwait, 64 per cent in Bahrain, and 49 % in Saudi Arabia. Ever since Gulf states have launched nationalisation schemes in order to incorporate more of their residents into the labour market and solve high levels of unemployment.
