Oman’s total credit growth quickened to 10.9% year-over-year in April 2026, marking a notable acceleration from the previously recorded 8.5% pace in December 2025. The data, updated on 22 June 2026, indicate strengthening credit dynamics in the Sultanate’s financial system.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier. The rise from 8.5% to 10.9% suggests that borrowing activity and lending conditions have become more robust over the intervening months, pointing to increased demand for credit across the economy.
While detailed breakdowns by sector are not provided, the faster expansion in total credit is likely to be closely watched by investors and policymakers as a signal of underlying economic momentum and potential future shifts in monetary or regulatory policy.
