Self-diffeomorphisms of three-dimensional space with a hyperbolic fixed point at the origin and a nontransversal point homoclinic to it are considered. It is assumed that the Jacobian matrix of the initial diffeomorphism has complex eigenvalues at the origin. It is shown that, under certain conditions imposed mainly on the character of tangency of the stable and unstable manifolds, a neighborhood of the nontransversal homoclinic point contains an infinite set of stable periodic points whose characteristic exponents are bounded away from zero.
