Currency in circulation in the Sultanate of Oman has increased by 7.6% during the year of the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, \u00a02020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data issued by the National Center for Statistics and Information<\/a> in the Sultanate of Oman showed that the amount of cash in circulation until the end of January 2021 amounted to OR1.721 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of currency during the same period last year reached one OR1.599 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currency in circulation: Oman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Money supply increased by 3.2%, to reach OR5.5321 billion, compared to OR5.3593 billion by the end of January 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local liquidity increased at the end of January 2021 by 9%, recording OR19.5337 billion, compared to OR17.9216 billion during the same period in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the total foreign assets of the Central Bank of Oman amounted to OR6.9811 billion, an increase of 11% from the end of January 2020, in which foreign assets reached OR6.2919 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related context, IMF said that Oman’s economy recorded a contraction <\/a>of 6.4% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fund attributed the reason for the contraction to the Coronavirus crisis and the low oil prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMF stated that this contraction will be less than the 19% decline that the fund expected for Oman’s economy last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the blow to the Sultanate\u2019s economy remains violent, as it is estimated that the non-oil GDP has contracted by 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction, hospitality, wholesale and retail sectors suffered the most, according to the fund, while the Sultanate witnessed a slight contraction in prices due to the decline in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest IMF report predicted a global contraction of 4.4% in 2020, which will be better than the June 2020 forecast, which said that the contraction is 5.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, IMF said it remains the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oman’s budget deficit widened to 17.3% of GDP and was financed by issuing foreign bonds, withdrawals from deposits and sovereign funds, and from privatization proceeds, the fund said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMF also stated that the Omani government debt rose to 81% of GDP, from 60% in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
