Bahrain Bourse’s 2025 financial performance has received high praise from the government, signalling a strong start for the kingdom’s revamped capital markets strategy.
Industry and Commerce Minister Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro reviewed the consolidated financial statements during a high-level meeting with Bahrain Bourse chairman Yusef Al Yusef and chief executive Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa.
The minister, who oversees shareholder responsibilities for the bourse, commended the positive year-end results, attributing the success to robust leadership and a focus on market infrastructure.
He noted that the performance aligns perfectly with the Capital Markets Development Plan 2026–2028, titled ‘Elevate’.
The roadmap is specifically designed to boost market competitiveness on a regional scale while enhancing transparency for both local and international investors.
Furthermore, it aims to significantly strengthen the overall efficiency of the kingdom’s financial sector.
“These accomplishments reflect steady progress towards our strategic objectives,” Mr Fakhro said, reiterating the ministry’s commitment to initiatives that bolster Bahrain’s standing as a financial hub.
The meeting also touched upon ongoing sustainability projects and digitisation efforts aimed at increasing investor confidence. As the bourse transitions into its ‘Elevate’ phase, officials highlighted that the 2025 results provide a solid foundation for the kingdom’s broader economic development goals.
