The Repo Rate is the interest rate at which the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) injects rial liquidity into licensed banks through repurchase operations against eligible collateral. It is CBO's principal policy/liquidity-injection rate and the rate CBO quotes in every weekly Treasury-bill announcement. Because the Rial Omani is pegged to the US dollar, CBO does not run an independent stance: it moves the Repo Rate in step with the US Federal Reserve. CBO also operates a Treasury Bills Discounting Facility at a higher rate (4.75% at confirmation), which is a standing facility, not the policy rate.

What this value means
Rendered from the official CBO news page (SharePoint body is client-rendered). TLS leaf is CN=*.cbo.gov.om, issued by DigiCert; the handshake omits the intermediate, which was added from the certificate AIA before fetch. The following weekly tender, https://cbo.gov.om/news/778 (21 Sep 2026), restates the same policy rate: "the interest rate on the Repo operations with CBO is 4.5% while the discount rate on the Treasury Bills Discounting Facility with CBO is 5%." The 5% figure is the Treasury Bills Discounting Facility, not the repo/policy rate.
