Global Investment House-Bahrain (Global Bahrain) has launched an initiative to encourage and support investments in the Bahrain stock market by waiving its brokerage fees for any investors interested in buying stocks listed on the Bahrain Bourse until April 14.
Nasser Al Gharibah, pictured right, general manager of Global Bahrain, said: "This initiative reflects Global's commitment towards the markets we operate in especially the Kingdom of Bahrain where the first office was opened as part of the company's expansion strategy. This is a modest gesture towards supporting the stock market, during this difficult phase."
Mr Al Gharibah stated that the Bahrain Bourse had shifted its operations to the 'emergency centre' it had set up two years ago with the necessary mechanism to ensure that the stock market continues its work during any crisis.
He concluded: "We hope to see more initiatives from various companies in the private sector, in various fields, that will contribute to restoring normalcy in Bahrain."
