Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) Bahrain Investments, Park Chief of Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP), Bader Al Saad
Bahrain International Investment Park does not like to compare ourselves with other locations like Dubai and Kuwait and other countries. Bahrain International Investment Park offers zero % tax and this is guaranteed in Bahrain International Investment Park.
Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) Bahrain Investments, Project Director of Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP), Brian Cogan
Bahrain is a cosmopolitan location where it’s very easy to put together a business that can trade within the Gulf and internationally.
Bahrain Telecom Market, Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), General Director, Alan Horne
I think Bahrain Telecom Market is well down the road of liberalization. Bahrain Telecom Market started in 2003 following the issuance of the Telecommunications Law, it’s a law based upon international best practice, which gives a lot of strength and teeth to the regulator.
Elaf Bank, New Islamic Investment Bank in Bahrain, CEO, Dr. Jamil El Jaroudi
First of all, Elaf Bank is lucky that we are a new bank, so Elaf Bank’s portfolio was fresh and most of it happened to be in new products. We are not affected. But our problem would be that we have so many good projects in the pipeline and if I cannot place it then like anybody else I will face a recession in my operations and business. Placing these deals is how we make our profits and revenue. If this persists as a long-term economic slowness, Elaf Bank, like any other bank, would be affected.
Bahrain Aluminium – ALBA, Former CEO, Ahmed Al Noaimi
It is with much pride that I like to say that Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA is the largest modern smelter in the world. While there are other smelters that are bigger than Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA but as far as environmental and safety standards are concerned, Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA is second to none. On safety, Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA numbers speak for themselves. Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA is the only smelter that has reached 9.2 million hours without lost time incidents despite the extremely strict methods Aluminium Bahrain – ALBA uses in counting them. Any absence of one shift of 8 hours is considered to be a loss of time incident while other smelters regard three shifts to be the barometer.
Vahan Zanoyan, CEO of 1st Energy Bank The time for an energy-focused bank, investment or financial institution especially is definitely the best time right now.
Interview with Douglas Hansen-Luke, CEO of Robeco Middle East , Bahrain Invest
I would say that I’ve been surprised in Bahrain not just by the opportunity from oil but the openness to invest around the world, the openness to invest within Bahrain and GCC.
Bahrain Shipping APM Terminals Bahrain, Managing Director of APM Terminals Bahrain, Steen Davidsen
I don’t know what the market is for shipping lines globally; every shipping line according to the papers is not going through excellent times at the moment, but for us in Bahrain shipping we’re doing quite well. We would like to see more volume in Bahrain Shipping, and we aren’t seeing the increases that we saw in previous years in Bahrain Shipping, but we’re still better than last year. I have not seen anything in Bahrain that indicates that things have come to a halt. I’m not a shipping analyst. We run the Bahrain Port, and the Khalifa bin Salman Port is busier than it was last year, and that is what I can relate to.
Bahrain Shipping APM Terminals Bahrain, Chief Commercial Officer of APM Terminals Bahrain, Iain Rawlinson
It is easy to access Bahrain. The capacity is available and the distance to the other markets is superior to actually the other ports; 40% closer if you measure it against Jebel Ali, we’re closer to the upper Gulf.
Interview with Talal Al Zain, CEO of Mumtalakat, Bahrain Investments

Interview with Abdulkarim Ahmed Bucheery, CEO of BBK Bahrain, Bahrain Banking – Biography
I think the room for expansion for Islamic banking is larger than that for conventional banking although there is room for conventional banks to grow too of course.
