sheets were less risky at the end of September than at the end
of June, which means that they need less capital. However,
almost two-thirds of the banks took lower charges for loan

According to a report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
bank credits destined for the private sector in Saudi Arabia are
poised to grow by 15.3% in 2014 as compared to 15.6% in
2013, which is the highest among the GCC countries. As per the
IMF report, Qatar has the second largest bank credit growth
among the GCC countries forecasted at 14.7% in 2014 (12.9%
in 2013), followed by Oman at 12.6% (14.3%), and the UAE at
8.4% (6%). The report showed that despite low interest rates,

institutions in the GCC region are characterized by solid
positions despite the increasing rates of non-performing loans
(NPLs) in Bahrain and the UAE in 2013. Further, the report
showed that banking institutions in the GCC countries are well
positioned in their capitals and have enough provisions for bad
loans. IMF has appreciated banking measures taken by Saudi
