May 13, 2014

Manama: An official delegation from the US Department of Commerce visited the Economic Development Board (EDB) headquarters today. The members met with EDB officials to discuss bilateral cooperation efforts between the two countries.

The delegation were briefed on Bahrain’s investment environment, as well as the competitive features of its diversified economy  and the Kingdom’s economic freedom, as well as explaining the Kingdom’s policy in flexibly addressing economic changes. The meeting also highlighted Bahrain’s achievements, which are manifested in its positive international rankings and the opportunities it offers. These have helped attract renowned companies and international investors to Bahrain.
These factors, as well as the Kingdom’s national, bilingual and skilled workforce, relative low living costs and high human development rates makes  it the natural gateway for investors looking to access the $1.5 trillion worth GCC market.

De Amicis, General Counsel and Vice President of Overseas Private Investment Corporation; Mr. Justin Antonipillai, Deputy General Counsel of US Department of Commerce and Mr. Hasan Haider, Chief Exectuive Officer of Tenmou.
