The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) will join the Kingdom’s official delegation as it brings clients and partners together for the excitement of the international racing weekend at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia from 2nd to 4th October 2026.

The Bank will be present throughout the event at the Team Bahrain Lounge, the delegation’s hospitality space at the circuit, where clients, partners, VIP guests and key stakeholders can enjoy high-octane racing while exchanging ideas and making new connections around shared business interests.

Commenting on the occasion, Mrs. Hala Ali Husain Yateem, Chairperson of NBB, said, “The Bahrain Grand Prix being held in Malaysia this year is a testament to the Kingdom’s flexibility, resilience and ability to seize opportunities. It reflects Bahrain’s readiness to adapt to changing circumstances while continuing to build on the international profile and success of an event that has become closely associated with the Kingdom over more than two decades. Hosting the race in Malaysia also creates an important opportunity to further strengthen the long-standing ties between Bahrain and Malaysia, bringing our two countries closer through sport, business and shared international engagement. As Bahrain’s national bank, NBB is proud to support the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and to stand alongside our national partners in representing the Kingdom on the global stage. Events such as this provide an important platform to showcase Bahrain’s openness, dynamism and welcoming spirit, while creating new connections and opportunities between our countries. We look forward to an exciting race weekend and to sharing the very best of Bahraini hospitality with our friends, partners and guests in Malaysia.”

Usman Ahmed, Group Chief Executive of NBB, added, “Our approach to business is centred around building relationships through sustained engagement with our valued clients. The race weekend gives us time together in a more informal setting where different conversations can sharpen our understanding of how we can help them progress towards their goals. From the Team Bahrain Lounge, we will introduce them to the wider Bahraini business community and to the opportunities the Kingdom is presenting to international audiences. That is the role we expect of ourselves as Bahrain’s national bank: to stay close to our clients, and closer still to the growth story they are investing in.”

NBB’s participation in the event underscores its commitment to complementing its banking services with experiences that strengthen client relationships, encourage business collaboration, and contribute to sustainable development of the Kingdom’s economic and investment ecosystem.
