MANAMA: Pakistan-based Bank Alfalah is moving into the Bahrain Financial Harbour.
The bank has committed to take space on the 13th floor of one of the twin towers and is aiming to commence operations from BFH by mid-July, coinciding with its 10th anniversary celebrations.
"We are pleased that Bank Alfalah, an important banking institution from South Asia's booming financial services sector has chosen BFH as the ideal destination to commence its operations in the Middle East," said Bahrain Financial Harbour Holding Company (BFHHC) chief executive Stephen Rothel.
Bank Alfalah operates in the spheres of general banking, financial services, consumer banking, treasury and Islamic banking.
"Bahrain's growth as a financial centre of the Middle East has always been viewed by us with admiration. With the opening of Bahrain Financial Harbour's Phase I - The Financial Centre, we are confident that the Kingdom will further receive a significant boost to its reputation of being a quality International Financial Centre," said the bank's country head Tariq Rahmat.
