The workshop was led by representatives from the bank’s CIIB Department – Dalal Alomran, Senior Associate, Yusuf Almeer, DCMS Associate at NBB, and Ali Faqihi, ARM & Sustainability Officer who shared an in-depth overview of Bahrain’s economy, its financial services industry and banking sector, as well as practical insights on ESG considerations.
