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 4.50%
while the discount rate on the Treasury Bills Discounting Facility with CBO is 5.00%.
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.
