Shaikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, the executive director of inJAz Bahrain, visited the headquarters of the Bahrain Financial Exchange (BFX), the first multi-asset exchange in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The visit follows the BFX’s successful launch ceremony on February 1, held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain.

The inJAz Bahrain delegation – which included Badria Naqi, deputy executive director - was welcomed by  Jignesh Shah, group CEO and chairman of the Financial Technologies Group and chairman of the BFX and  Arshad Khan, managing director and CEO of the BFX.

Shaikha Hessa welcomed the BFX to Bahrain and applauded its unique vision, which is to offer an innovative and pioneering platform which is set to revolutionise trading in the region.

She also praised the sophistication and comprehensiveness of the training courses the BFX Training Institute offers.

Shaikha Hessa also expressed inJAz Bahrain’s interest in establishing a long-term partnership with the BFX around the organisation’s many programmes aimed at instilling the spirit of enterprise and leadership in Bahraini youth.

Shah expressed his gratitude to Shaikha Hessa for her visit and stressed the BFX’s commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at empowering Bahrainis to become leaders in the regional financial sector.

“We look forward to exploring ways in which the BFX can play a leading role as a responsible corporate citizen in tandem with inJAz Bahrain, as we share in their vision,” Shah said.  - TradeArabia News Service
