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 (CBO) 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.
