Bahrain’s financial institutions remain fully operational and resilient despite recent regional developments, the Bahrain Association of Banks (BAB) said today.
The kingdom’s banking sector is maintaining uninterrupted services for individuals and businesses, supported by robust regulatory frameworks and advanced digital infrastructure, BAB chairman Yaser Alsharifi said.
"Bahrain’s banking sector remains strong and resilient," Mr Alsharifi said, noting that institutions are meeting the needs of both domestic and corporate clients while ensuring business continuity.
He credited the Central Bank of Bahrain’s regulatory oversight for stabilising the environment amid evolving conditions.
BAB chief executive Zeeba Askar confirmed that banks across the kingdom have activated business continuity plans to ensure the smooth functioning of payment systems and interbank transactions.
Ms Askar added that prior investments in financial technology have allowed the sector to maintain service delivery through secure digital channels, while prioritising the safety of employees and customers.
