The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) said yesterday its board has approved a new organisational structure aimed at supporting the stability and growth of the financial sector.
The decision, taken at the board’s second meeting of 2025 chaired by Hassan Al Jalahma, reflects the CBB’s dual mandate, the central bank said in a statement. The CBB added that the new structure would help achieve its objectives and develop leadership competencies within the sector.
Separately, the CBB announced several new appointments to its executive management team, effective on or after April 20, 2025, as part of the new structure.
These include Yousif Al Fadhel as adviser to the Governor (effective April 20), Hesa Al Sada as executive director for Central Banking and Macro-Prudential Oversight (effective May 1), Abeer Al Saad as executive director for Policy and Enforcement (effective May 1), Mohamed A Karim as executive director for Corporate Services (effective May 1), Mohamed Al Sadek as executive director for Market Development (effective May 1), and Noora Abdulghani as executive director for Supervision (effective May 1).
CBB Governor Khalid Humaidan congratulated the appointees, stating the move would support the board’s decision and contribute to developing capable leadership within the financial services sector.
