MSB Directors attend Tamkeen Consultation Forum 2018 in Bahrain

MSB’s Joint Managing Directors were delighted to join participants at Tamkeen’s annual Consultation Forum with customers and other key stakeholders.

The event, held yesterday, was attended by Tamkeen’s Chairman, His Excellency Shaikh Mohammed bin Isa Al Khalifa, and about 400 of the organisation’s customers.

Shaikh Mohammed opened proceedings by addressing the guests.  In his speech, the Chairman made the following points…

• Bahrain’s economic development is a process which must involve all stakeholders within the economy, which is why Tamkeen’s Consultation Forum is a key step in supporting the growth of the economy and boosting productivity.
  
  
• Tamkeen’s 2018-2020 Strategy - created through extensive consultation with individuals, businesses and strategic partners throughout the Kingdom - is achieving its objectives.  In Q3 2018, Tamkeen provided individuals and businesses with an extra BD 10m in support compared to the same period in 2017.

 

• Tamkeen is determined to enhance still further the support it offers to individuals and businesses, including through the provision of programmes which help to improve employee performance, cut costs and increase productivity.

Dr. Ebrahim Janahi, Tamkeen’s CEO, told a press conference about his recent investment in improved customer service procedures, including more digital solutions to speed up the application process for the organisation’s customers.

The event also featured panel discussions with guests from the kingdom’s Economic Development Board, Development Bank and Chamber of Commerce.  The themes of these discussions included ‘Productivity as a Key Measure of Success’, ‘Matching Skill Sets with the Labour Market’s Needs’, and ‘The Start-up Ecosystem’.
