Oman turns to other funding sources at USD 5-10bn

14 Jun 2016

(MENAFN) Oman is turning to other funding sources like procuring a USD 5bn to USD 10bn loan from the global market.

On the other hand, the Sultanate raised USD 2.5bn from its first global bond sale as it plans to plug a budget deficit caused by crude’s drop.

Additionally, Oman sold a USD 1bn of five-year notes at a yield of 245 basis points over the benchmark mid swap rate and USD 1.5bn of 10-year bonds.

Accordingly, falling state deposits among the downturn in oil prices led to moderate liquidity squeeze in the banking sector.
