The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) announced today, May 3, hiking its reverse repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) from 500 bps to 525 bps (5.25%).
Repo rate was also raised by 25 bps to 575 bps from 550 bps (5.75%).
The rate hike aligns with SAMA’s goals to maintain monetary stability and support financial stability.
The Federal Reserve lifted today interest rates by 25 bps to a range of 5-5.25%, from 4.75-5%.
The US central bank earlier raised interest rates nine consecutive times, the last of which was in March.
SAMA follows the interest rate moves of the US Federal Reserve due to the riyal-US dollar peg.
