Kuwait Finance House-Bahrain (KFH-Bahrain) played host to an executive delegation of US business leaders on their visit to the kingdom for the US-Bahrain Business Council meeting.
The delegation, which included representatives from US-based international investment companies Overland, Innovest and Washington-based strategic advisory company RJI Capital, were in the country to meet the Bahrain business community and key senior government officials. A presentation was given by KFH-Bahrain general manager Abdul Hakeem Alkhayyat, who is a strong advocate in enhancing bilateral business between the US and Bahrain. “It was an honour to welcome the representative members of the council to Bahrain and to our bank” said Mr Alkhayyat. “The council is a superb platform for fostering business to business relationships and offering American companies seeking to grow their business in Bahrain an opportunity to discuss economic, commercial and investment issues and we fully support their initiatives.” Inaugurated in 2006, the council is the premier international forum where public and private sector stockholders can address bilateral business relations. The council considers, in depth, the fundamental policy issues affecting US economic relations. This includes advising both US and Bahraini government entities on issues of importance to our respective business communities. KFH-Bahrain is a leading provider of Islamic commercial and investment banking services. Established in 2002 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Finance House-Kuwait, KFH-Bahrain specialises in developing and bringing to market the highest quality Islamically compliant banking and investment products.
