The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) raised the repo rate on transactions with domestic banks by 25 basis points to 4.50% from 4.25%, effective Sept. 17, 2026, to contain inflationary pressures and support monetary and financial stability under the fixed OMR exchange-rate regime. The move follows a 25-basis-point cut to 4.25% in December 2025. The CBO said the increase would help maintain price stability, mitigate undesirable cross-border capital flows and support investor confidence by limiting exchange-rate volatility risks.
