Bourse opens market for treasury bills

21/01/2016 08:45 AST

Bahrain Bourse (BHB) has announced the introduction of a market for trading in government treasury-bills (T-Bills).

In a statement yesterday, Bahrain Bourse (BHB) chairman Yusuf Abdulla Humood said a resolution, the first of this year, has been issued on adding the T-Bills Market to the BHB.

Investors will be allowed to trade in listed T-Bills in the secondary market according to the general trading guidelines in BHB’s Rulebook.

The details of the market and trading mechanism will be disclosed later on by the BHB chief executive, the statement added.

Once the T-Bills market is up and running, it will be a part of the Automated Trading System at BHB that now includes the equity, debt and the mutual funds markets.

“The markets provide investors with various options enabling them to manage their portfolios in order to diversify their risk and maximise their profitability.”
