"Oman's central bank on Wednesday cut the ceiling on interest rates that commercial banks can charge on new personal loans to 6 percent from 7 percent, to ease the financial burden on borrowers in the sultanate, state news agency ONA reported.

"This decrease comes as part of a regular review that the bank does on personal loan rates through the continuous analysis and statistics of the sector indicators," ONA quoted the central bank board as saying.
