As of 1st December 2013 Bahrain Bourse (BHB) has extended the trading period from three hours to three hours and a half, in which the main trading session starts at 9.30 am and ends at 1.00 pm.
The extension of the trading period comes along with the implementation of the Online Trading Incentive Program (OTIP) which will give new categories of investors a better opportunity to trade at the Bourse both in Bahrain and abroad, and will also give investors at BHB a longer time to benefit from the opportunities available in cross-listed companies, whether they are listed at BHB or other bourses and GCC capital markets that are linked with BHB.
