Bahrain

In Bahrain, IFC's focus is to catalyze South-South investments, by encouraging strong regional groups to invest in emerging markets. The country's business groups possess significant expertise in several sectors, including telecommunications, retail, aluminium, and oil and gas. The investments will not only increase the flow of capital toward emerging markets, but will also guarantee the transfer of technology and know-how from companies that are based in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
