BAHRAIN DEVELOPMENT BANK SUSTAINING GROWTH Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) commenced its operations in 1992 with the aim of adopting effective integrated programmes to facilitate the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises, also focusing on the expansion and development of existing businesses and supporting troubled projects to put them back on the path to profitability. BDB has since played a major developmental role through the diversification of its investment activities, concentrating on new sectors with added value such as the refining industry, food industry, tourism and health projects. Since small and medium enterprises are an integral part of the business activity and entrepreneurial development of the Kingdom, these mechanisms were designed and implemented in accordance with the BDB’s expertise in this area and in line with local and global economic, financial and technological conditions. With a vision to develop Bahraini youth and strengthen their capacity to take up entrepreneurship, the bank has developed a number of programmes such as ‘Rowad’, which is a comprehensive plan designed to support entrepreneurs in developing their ideas and starting their own businesses. Supporting entrepreneurship will remain a key element in the bank’s development plans as it will continue to provide a variety of programmes and activities that contribute to attracting existing entrepreneurs as well as encouraging students of secondary schools and universities to consider entrepreneurship as a viable option. Some of the bank’s financial services include BDB finance, Islamic financing, educational finance, BDB & Tamkeen finance, Letters of Credit, Letters of Guarantee and loans for agriculture and fisheries.
