DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Manama: Bahrain Bourse, a self-regulated
multi-asset marketplace, announced signing a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Instinctif Partners MENA, an international
business communications consultancy and Investor Relations (IR)
advisory. The collaboration seeks to implement IR-related
initiatives, which will allow Bahrain Bourse to promote best
practice among listed companies, other market participants, as well
as internally.
The collaboration will include a series of workshops as well as
one-to-one sessions with listed companies, to review best practice
approaches to improve communication between issuers, the investment
community and other stakeholders.
Marwa AlMaskati, Director of Marketing & Business
Development of Bahrain Bourse commented: "It is a
distinct pleasure to collaborate with Instinctif Partners MENA.
Several strategic projects will be undertaken, providing excellent
opportunities for mutual growth, as well as a significant
contribution to the enhancement of IR functions in the Kingdom.
This cooperation will undoubtedly lead to the growth of
international best practice for IR among listed companies.
"Looking ahead, we look forward to greater collaboration with
Instinctif Partners MENA. We are more focused than ever on
cultivating and developing best practice Investor Relations across
the Kingdom," AlMaskati added.
Samantha Bartel, CEO &
Managing Partner of Instinctif Partners MENA, commented: "We
are delighted to be partnering with Bahrain Bourse on this exciting
new initiative. As an Investor Relations advisory with a strong
track record in the region, we welcome partnerships with similarly
ambitious organisations, especially those who are committed to
promoting and establishing best practice among issuers. Bahrain
Bourse is doing exactly that and has already made excellent
progress. We are looking forward to supporting the continuation of
that journey and helping to improve the way issuers engage with the
investment community."
Bahrain Bourse announced the launch of its Investor Relations
Best Practice Guide in May 2021, as
part of its efforts to encourage IR best practice among listed
companies. The guide's purpose is to clarify the importance of the
IR function and the positive impact that it can have on market
valuation and competitiveness.
