Saudi central bank cuts rates by 25 bps -statement - Reuters:

Saudi Arabia’s central bank said on Wednesday it had cut key interest rates following the U.S. Federal Reserve decision to cut interest rates for the third time this year.

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) cut its repo rate, used to lend money to banks, to 225 basis points from 250 bps, and the reverse repo, the rate at which commercial banks deposit money with the central bank, by the same margin to 175 bps.
