Bahrain Bourse and Bahrain Clear have highlighted the investment opportunities in the nation’s stock markets to a galaxy of investors participating in the HSBC GCC London Conference 2023, being held from June 12 to 16, 2023. 

 

This key event aims to highlight crucial regulatory market developments, build key relationships with international fund and asset managers, and promote the region’s tremendous growth and investment potential. 

 

During the conference, Bahrain Bourse's delegation, led by Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, CEO of Bahrain Bourse, engaged in one-on-one meetings with representatives of prominent international fund and asset managers. 

 

Excellent platform

These discussions provided an excellent platform for international investors to obtain in-depth knowledge of the companies listed in Bahrain Bourse as well as the wide range of opportunities available in Bahrain's capital market.

 

Now in its second year, HSBC’s GCC Conference brings together senior leaders from exchanges representing all GCC markets with international investors, covering seven regional GCC stock exchanges.

 

The conference is recognised as an influential gathering and one of the largest of its kind. With an impressive number of delegates, numerous engaging sessions, and extensive face-to-face interactions, the event comprehensively addressed a wide range of topics including the development of capital markets, the bloc's reform agenda, strategies for economic diversification, and investments in sustainable finance that will support the transition towards a more sustainable economic landscape.

 

Unique forum

The event served to bring together HSBC clients, contacts and stakeholders with key leaders from GCC stock exchanges, providing a unique forum to promote the development of capital markets and foster a deeper understanding of investment opportunities within the region. 

 

Myles MacMahon, Head of Global Investor Access, Markets & Securities Services, EMEA, HSBC, commented: “2022 was an eventful year for the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait all pushed forward with initiatives that have the potential to change the way of life in the Middle East as they compete for a more prominent place on the global stage.”

 

Shaikh Khalifa said: “Bahrain Bourse’s participation in the HSBC GCC Conference 2023 reaffirms our commitment to broaden market accessibility by intensifying regional and global outreach, and enhancing market liquidity especially through “Tabadul” Hub that was launched in July 2022, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).”

 

“The roadshow provides an excellent opportunity for Bahrain Bourse to showcase its recent developments and initiatives to international fund managers and asset managers, and hence solidify institutional investor appetite in Bahrain’s capital market,” Shaikh Khalifa added.-- TradeArabia News Service
