Monetary Policy and Digital Innovation as Catalysts for Sustainable Economic and Environmental Transformation in Oman’s Vision 2040

Abstract

Digital transformation and sustainability have emerged as core components of contemporary development strategies, particularly within the framework of Oman Vision 2040. This study investigates the nexus between monetary policy and digital innovation in advancing economic and environmental sustainability. It critically analyzes the evolving role of the Central Bank of Oman in promoting financial sector digitalization while preserving macroeconomic stability and financial system soundness. The paper develops a strategic policy framework that integrates monetary policy instruments with digital financial services, fintech ecosystems, green banking practices, and sustainability-oriented initiatives, drawing upon regional case studies and international best practices. The study concludes with evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at strengthening Oman’s transition toward a digitally enabled, resilient, and sustainable economic system.
