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."

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. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2">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.</span></p>
