Re : Connected Lending and Transactions

  1. As licensed banks are aware, the Central Bank of Oman places great importance on good corporate governance, one of the cardinal objectives of which is running of a corporate entity in the larger interests of all the stake- holders fairly and transparently.

  2. A pre-requisite for the good, credible and inspiring functioning of a financial institution, particularly a deposit-taking bank, is to ensure diligence in all related party transactions.
