Business and Politics in Bahrain

Amin A. Al Arrayed, General Manager of First Bahrain, explains how the political situation gets in way of doing business in Bahrain.

Arrayed stays upbeat about the future. He says, “So I’m typically optimistic in our ability going forward. I think that political debate is healthy and I think that just as I said before, the economic companies become more resilient when they’re stressed. I think even citizenship and the idea of being a citizen and what that entails, of being a civil servant and what that means, has also been tested during this period. In the end, if you look at the history of the world, nothing comes out of a very easy period.”
