The Bahrain Bourse and the Saudi Tadawul Group signed a cooperation agreement on the sidelines of the third meeting of the Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council in Riyadh.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bahrain Bourse, Shaikh Khalifa bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, affirmed the strong and longstanding fraternal relations between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which have been witnessing continuous growth in various fields.

The two parties will work on strengthening and developing an integrated structure to enhance investments in both markets, including the development of new products.
