Bahrain Bourse (BHB), regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), participated in the HSBC GCC Exchanges London Conference 2025, aiming to attract international investment and strengthen ties with global fund and asset managers.
A high-level Bahraini delegation, including CBB Governor Khalid Humaidan and BHB Chairman Yusef Al Yusef, attended the event. Mr Humaidan participated in a fireside chat on ‘Bahrain’s Financial Sector: Reform Momentum, Market Confidence, and Talent-Led Growth,’ highlighting the nation’s financial reforms and focus on market confidence.
The conference, organised by HSBC, convened senior leaders from all seven GCC stock exchanges and global investors to showcase regional opportunities.
Bahrain’s delegation held one-on-one meetings with international fund and asset managers, providing insights into investment opportunities and regulatory developments.
Alba, a BHB-listed company, also participated in these meetings.
BHB also engaged with senior traders from major global asset management firms at a dedicated ‘Senior Traders Forum’.
“Bahrain Bourse’s presence at the HSBC GCC Exchanges London Conference 2025 is part of our ongoing commitment to position Bahrain as a gateway for regional and international investment. Our engagement with global asset managers underscores our focus on enhancing investor access, market transparency, and supporting the development of a more dynamic capital market ecosystem in Bahrain,” commented BHB chief executive Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa.
Joseph Ghorayeb, chief executive of HSBC Bahrain, noted the GCC’s appeal as a “capital magnet” due to its financial strength. He reiterated HSBC’s support for BHB’s vision, citing recent collaborations including a $2.5 billion bond issuance and support for ESG initiatives.
The collective participation of GCC exchanges at the roadshow underscored their commitment to collaboration and capital market growth in the region.
