Question

In an effort to decrease the nation's dependency on the oil industry, the government of Oman has passed several economic development policies. The policies call for the development of non-oil industries such as mining, fishing, and agriculture. The purpose behind these policies is to develop a wide range of industries, which will be able to sustain the nation's economy when its oil reserves are gone.

Which of these is a reason why Oman would want to expand its non-oil economy?
