Through our partnership with Tanami, we look forward to developing a platform that delivers added value to issuers and investors while supporting the introduction of new financial instruments that contribute to enhancing market efficiency."

Faisal Aljalahma, Co-founder and CEO of Tanami, said: "Tanami was built to make private markets more efficient and transparent. Bahrain Bourse plays a central role in the development of the Kingdom's capital market, and this MoU brings our technology and private markets experience to that infrastructure, helping connect private companies in Bahrain with a broader investor base."
