Oman's Alliance Housing Bank, an affiliate of Ahli United Bank, said the World Bank agreed to buy 9.9% of the lender for 14.4 million rials ($37.45 million).

"The IFC agreed to buy 9.9% in AHB for 14.4 million rials, which we expect the shareholders to approve the deal early next month," Alliance Housing Chief Executive Officer Abdulaziz al-Balushi told Reuters on Wednesday.
