An announcement yesterday said that following the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the board of directors of Mumtalakat chaired by Finance and National Economy Minister Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa welcomed Shaikh Abdulla to the new role.

Expressing gratitude and appreciation to the kingdom’s leadership and Mumtalakat’s board, Shaikh Abdulla said: “I look forward to working closely with the executive management, the wider Mumtalakat team and portfolio companies to enhance our contribution to the economy of the kingdom as part of Team Bahrain.”
