MUSCAT: The number of projects financed by all branches of Oman Development Bank (ODB) in various governorates of the Sultanate since 2014 until the end of last year reached 18,270 projects valued at more than RO 104 million.


Hamad bin Salim al Harthy, Director-General of Oman Development Bank, said that the bank has 18 branches and 6 governorates in the Sultanate’s governorates, where more than 130 employees manage more than 21,000 loans representing 98 per cent of the bank’s total loans, valued at RO 90 million representing 63 per cent of the total portfolio.
