Notes
The parliament in Oman is the Council of Oman (Majlis Oman) and is made up of two houses: The State Council (Majlis Oman), which is an appointed body, and the Shura Council (Majlis Al-Shura), which is an elected body. The term of the State Council and the Shura Council is four years. This dataset includes only the details of the members of the Shura Council.
Data on elections in Oman is usually published on a temporary basis on elections.om while elections are ongoing. This website is used to manage elections for the Shura Council as well as municipality councils.
We should highlight that certain members of the Shura Council have served for a term less than four years. This is because of their removal as a result of death or appointment to an official government post.

Notes
The projected government budget is officially approved every year by royal decree and is published in the Official Gazette. The actual spending of the government is confirmed towards the end of the following year in a final statement issued by the Ministry of Finance in a ministerial decision that is also published in the Official Gazette.
The dataset covers both the total projected and actual expenditure without a breakdown for operational expenditure and capital expenditure.
The dataset includes two projected budgets, because the number for the projected budget in the final statement issued by the Ministry of Finance can be different from the projected budget issued by royal decree at the start of the year. It is not clear why this discrepancy exists, but we assume that the projected budget is revised in certain circumstances during the year.

Notes
In December 2015, fuel was sold in Oman in three types: M-95 petrol (i.e. super), M-90 petrol (i.e. regular), and diesel. In November 2016, the market stopped offering M-90 petrol, and M-91 petrol was offered instead. Accordingly, there are no prices for M-90 petrol from November 2016 onwards, and the prices for M-91 petrol start from that same month.
