BAHRAIN Bourse (BHB) has wrapped up a five-day strategic visit to the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) to boost regional market integration and exchange operational expertise.
The visit, conducted under an ongoing MoU between the two exchanges, brought together BHB delegates from Partnership Development, Risk and Compliance, Listing and Disclosure, and Trading Operations. Discussions centred on market infrastructure, operational efficiency, and aligning growth strategies with BHB’s Capital Market Development Plan 2026–2028.
“Benchmarking against regional peer exchanges enables us to identify opportunities to enhance our services, strengthen market resilience, and support innovation across our marketplace,” said Bahrain Bourse chief executive officer Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa.
Muscat Stock Exchange CEO Haitham bin Salem Al Salmi echoed the sentiment, highlighting the partnership’s role in advancing GCC capital market integration. “The visit provided a valuable opportunity to discuss initiatives of mutual interest and exchange best practices that contribute to enhancing market infrastructure,” he noted.
The engagement underscores BHB’s broader push to adopt regional best practices, build cross-border ties, and drive a more competitive investment environment across the GCC.
