    Monetary Indicators Show Continued Growth in Oman’s Money Supply

    Muscat: Broad money supply in the Sultanate of Oman recorded an annual growth of 6.4 percent, reaching OMR 26.4 billion by the end of November 2025, according to the latest monetary indicators.

    This growth was driven by a 12.2 percent increase in narrow money, alongside a 4.1 percent rise in quasi-money, which includes savings and time deposits in Omani rials, certificates of deposit issued by banks, margin accounts, and all foreign currency deposits within the banking sector.

    During the same period, cash in circulation outside the banking system increased by 1.9 percent, while demand deposits registered a notable rise of 14.1 percent, reflecting improved liquidity conditions and higher transaction activity.

    With regard to interest rates at conventional commercial banks, the weighted average interest rate on Omani rial deposits declined from 2.733 percent in November 2024 to 2.498 percent in November 2025. Likewise, the weighted average interest rate on Omani rial loans decreased from 5.667 percent to 5.446 percent over the same period.

    The average overnight interbank lending rate also fell to 3.917 percent in November 2025, compared to 4.563 percent in November 2024. This decline was attributed to a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on repurchase operations to 4.500 percent, down from 5.308 percent in the corresponding period of 2024, in line with the monetary policy direction of the US Federal Reserve.
