  • Oman: Monday, February 11 - 2013 at 05:05

Oman's largest lender, Bank Muscat has said its credit growth this year is expected to reach around 14-15%, driven by high government spending and higher wages for local citizens, Reuters has reported. "The opportunities identified by the bank include major infrastructure development projects and government focus on economic diversification and tourism development," said Bank Muscat's COO, Ahmed Al Abri. The bank reported 16.2% growth in lending in 2012, which helped boost annual net profit by 18.5% over the previous year.
