The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) Repurchase Agreement (Repo) rate — the rate at which SAMA provides overnight liquidity to banks against eligible collateral, and the headline of SAMA's two administered policy rates. Because the Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar at SAR 3.75, SAMA has no independent rate cycle and moves in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve to defend the peg; decisions are announced within hours of the FOMC.
