The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) decided to raise its repo rate to 125 basis points (bps) from 100 bps and its reverse repo rate to 75 bps from 25 bps.
The US Federal Reserve raised, today, March 16, interest rates for the first time since 2018, by 25 bps to range between 0.25% and 0.50%.
SAMA follows the interest rate moves of the US Federal Reserve due to the riyal-US dollar peg.
