The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency announced on June 1st it would provide SAR 50 billion or USD 13.3 billion to support liquidity in the banking sector, as the economy suffers from low oil prices and disruptions in activity caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The central bank also noted that "the banking sector is still recording good performance indicators, which enhances its ability to face challenges and crises". In March, the SAMA had slashed its repo rate by 75bps to 1 percent, aiming to protect the economy from the negative impact of the Covid-19. source: Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency
