Plans to boost SME exports on the anvil

Industry, Commerce and Tourism Ministry has announced its plans to launch a new project to further develop SME exports from the Kingdom.

The new project, titled ‘Bahrain Exports’, is considered to be one of the main initiatives to be implemented by the ministry as per the instructions of the Coordination Committee, headed by the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

The ministry held the fifth Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Development Board meeting, chaired by Minister Zayed Al Zayani, and discussed the means to support national exports.

The attendees reviewed a plan to be implemented in cooperation with a number of specialized local, regional and international companies in the field of supporting the exports of SMEs. The supportive programmes and services to be soon implemented through the ‘Bahrain Exports’ initiative were also discussed during the meeting.
