Mubasher: Bahrain Bourse (BHB) seeks launching Bahrain Investment Market in the first quarter of 2016, representing a window of opportunity for investors who are perusing long-term financing for mega projects through bonds, sukuk or rights issue, said CEO Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa.
The CEO added that the Bahraini stock market will review subscription requests for listing local companies in the coming period.
Al-Khalifa noted that “the investment market will target companies which intend to grow, not exit BHB.”
BHB has started to issue treasury bonds in the beginning of 2015, in line with plans for market development and expansion, added the CEO.
