BHB and Bahrain Clear highlight market plans

Bahrain Bourse (BHB) and Bahrain Clear showcased key regulatory and market developments and plans to investors during a virtual forum organised by HSBC.

The virtual event took place alongside the HSBC Markets and Securities Services: MENAT Virtual Forum 2021, one of the largest regional securities forums, with participation from global custodians and investors.

Topics discussed included market access reforms and key market developments.

The speakers included Bahrain Clear senior director of operations Abdulla Abdin and marketing and business development director Marwa Almaskati.

BHB chief operating officer Narjes Jamal said: “Over the past twelve months, one of the most effective means of communication with the market has been through virtual corporate access days and roadshows, which provided participants with broadened outreach to investment funds and global custodians as well as access to a more diverse mix of executives during meetings.

“We have seen growing appetite from international institutional investors into the market due to the lucrative opportunities available. Regional and international investors have shown growing interest in key developments taking place in Bahrain Bourse, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to attract more investors to the market,” Ms Jamal added.
