Bahrain plans to invest £1 billion in the UK and will strengthen ties related to financial services as part of a potential new trade deal.
Talks over a free-trade agreement between the UK and the Gulf Cooperation Council have “covered a lot of ground in all sectors,” and particularly finance, Central Bank of Bahrain Governor Rasheed Al Maraj said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Tuesday. “I’m hopeful we have now reached a stage where we are about to conclude this agreement.”
