Bahrain Bourse (BHB) has approved Arqaam Securities L.L.C. as an External Market Maker, a move aimed at boosting market liquidity and enhancing the Kingdom’s capital market ecosystem.
The announcement was made during a signing ceremony attended by BHB Chairman Yusef Al Yusef, CEO Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, and Riad Meliti, CEO of Arqaam Capital.
Shaikh Khalifa described the approval as a key milestone in creating a more dynamic and efficient market, noting increased institutional participation since the launch of the updated Market Making Framework in July 2024.
Riad Meliti said Arqaam Securities is proud to support Bahrain’s capital market, bringing regional expertise in liquidity provision to help drive trading activity, fair price discovery, and investor confidence.
With this addition, Bahrain Bourse now counts four authorised market makers, further aligning its operations with global standards and reinforcing its commitment to transparency and competitiveness.
