Financial Stability Report 2020
The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) released the eighth issue of the Financial Stability Report (FSR). The FSR 2020 indicates that "risks to the financial stability in the Sultanate remained on the expected trajectory during 2019 and the confidence of market participants in the Omani financial system stayed high." It also signified that the risks elevated in 2020 due to the economic and financial impact created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The FSR further indicated that while the Nominal GDP declined during 2019 due to lower oil prices, Oman witnessed an uptick in the real economic activity measured at basic prices along with low inflation. In the meantime, containing the twin deficit and levels of public debt remain top priorities of the macroeconomic policy in Oman to preserve the macro-financial stability of the economy over the medium term in accordance with Vision Oman 2040.The report also highlights the strength of the domestic banking sector, which allowed sufficient policy space to CBO to counter the impact of the pandemic. Omani Banks entered the pandemic from a position of strength underpinned by healthy capital buffers, solid asset quality, and strong liquidity. This enabled CBO to relax several regulatory capital requirements for the banks bolstering their capacity to support the real economy during the pandemic. While acknowledging the challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic and the collapse in oil prices, the report asserts that risks to financial stability are well-contained, considering the renewed efforts to keep the economy on track and the strong financial sector supporting the real economy.

Inaugural Address by HE Tahir Al Amri at International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Workshop
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) WorkshopOn Tuesday, 27th August 2019 at 900AM at Crowne PlazaInaugural Address by HE Tahir Al Amri Good Morning everyone. It gives me immense pleasure to be here this morning to witness the commencement of the one-day International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Workshop organised by Crowe Mak Ghazali. As a source of globally comparable information, IFRS Standards are of vital importance to regulators around the world. IFRS Standards contribute to the economic efficiency by helping investors to identify opportunities and risks across the world in the same accounting language, thus improving capital allocation. The Sultanate has also stipulated that the accounting records have to be kept according to IFRS, thereby making the financial reporting more transparent and organised in the country. I take this opportunity to thank the organisers Crowe Mak Ghazali for organising regular updates on such technical topics, which is useful to the business community of Oman to adopt to the best practices prevalent in the accounting world. Thank you
