Treasury Bills are short-term highly secured financial
instruments issued by the Ministry of Finance, and they provide licensed
commercial banks the opportunity to invest their surplus funds. The Central
Bank of Oman acts as the Issue Manager and provides the added advantage of
ready liquidity through discounting and repurchase facilities (Repo).
It may be noted that the interest rate on the Repo operations
with CBO is 4.25% while the discount rate on the Treasury Bills Discounting
Facility with CBO is 4.75%.
Furthermore, Treasury Bills promote the local money market by
creating a benchmark yield curve for short-term interest rates. Additionally,
the Government may also resort to this instrument whenever felt necessary for
financing its recurrent expenditures.
