Last update: 11 hours ago

Air Connectivity: Gulf Air opened bookings for direct Bahrain–Kuala Lumpur flights from Sept 29, 2026, with extra capacity ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang (Oct 2-4). Sports Governance: Bahrain Football Association barred Al Ittifaq from registering new players over unpaid dues to players and coaches, with the ban lifted after settlement. Banking Expansion: Bank of Punjab received in-principle approval from Pakistan’s central bank to set up an overseas wholesale banking unit in Bahrain, pending local and regulatory approvals. Regional Trade: Egypt–Bahrain bilateral trade fell to $301.1m in 2025, driven by a sharp drop in Egyptian imports from Bahrain, while exports stayed broadly stable. AI Skills: BIBF launched an AI-powered study assistant for CPA and CMA candidates, integrated with Becker’s exam prep platform. Tourism & Lifestyle Finance: NBB partnered with Turkish Airlines for a 20% flight discount for cardholders via the NBB Points app. Corporate Results: Gulf Hotels Group reported weaker Q2 and H1 profits amid regional geopolitical tensions hitting travel and air connectivity. Industrial Performance: Alba’s Q2 profit jumped 164% to BD64.9m, citing disciplined production and raw-material management despite supply-chain challenges. Maritime Security: Iran and Oman are reportedly close to a Strait of Hormuz shipping framework, with separate inbound/outbound channels and oversight roles.
