Who Issues Omani Rial in Oman

The Omani Rial (OMR) sits at the center of Oman's domestic currency framework. Its notation is shown as OMR, and the ISO 4217 standard pairs the alphabetic code with numeric identifier 512. One feature that materially shapes this currency is its formal peg to an external anchor.

Central Bank of Oman manages the Omani Rial within Oman's national monetary system and also maintains the documented exchange-rate link attached to OMR. In Oman, that exchange-rate link does not change OMR's status as a national currency.
