Central Bank of Bahrain said the kingdom’s banking and financial sector remains fully operational and highly prepared amid ongoing regional tensions and the effects of Iranian actions in the region.
The regulator said banks and financial institutions across Bahrain continue to serve customers efficiently, supported by strong safety measures, redundancy systems, and a well-developed regulatory framework alongside advanced digital infrastructure built up over the years.
Since the start of the situation, the central bank said it has intensified supervision and maintained close coordination with banks, insurers, and other financial institutions to ensure financial services continue without disruption.
According to the CBB, financial institutions have demonstrated strong operational readiness and business continuity capabilities, reflecting the sector’s preparedness and regulatory discipline.
The central bank also noted that Bahrain’s banking system continues to show solid financial health, with capital adequacy and liquidity ratios remaining above regulatory requirements. Payment systems and other financial infrastructure across the kingdom are also operating securely and efficiently.
In addition, the CBB said both physical security and cybersecurity measures at financial institutions are functioning at the highest level of readiness under a comprehensive protection framework for the financial sector.
The central bank reiterated its commitment to safeguarding monetary and financial stability in Bahrain while ensuring uninterrupted financial services, reinforcing confidence in the sector and strengthening the country’s standing as a key regional financial hub.
