Speaking at the signing ceremony, Dr. AbdulRahman Ali Saif, BBK’s Group Chief Executive, stated that: “BBK is pleased with the successful signing of the debut US$150 million loan facility. This reflects the Bank’s sound financial performance despite the impact of the Global Pandemic and the confidence of the market in BBK’s performance and growth strategy. BBK’s latest Q2 2021 results showed the Bank’s strong liquidity position and performance, with a 14% year on year increase in the quarterly profits to BHD 13.8 million for Q2 2021.

The Loan facility reflects BBK’s strategy to support the growth of its business lines. The facility also reflects the sound relationship that the Bank maintains with its key counterparts, which BBK would like to thank for arranging this deal.
