HRH Princess Sabeeka asserted
that the Bahraini Women’s Day
has become a key national occa-
sion which offers an opportunity
to document Bahraini women’s
march, noting that this year’s
edition is devoted to shedding
light on the Bahraini women’s
achievements in the financial and
banking sector and highlighting
their success stories since they
first joined it five decades ago.
HRH Princess Sabbeka stressed
that devoting this year’s event to
celebrating Bahraini women in
the financial and banking sector
was the result of the major accom-
plishments of Bahraini women,
and their effective contributions
to making Bahrain a leading re-
gional and global financial cen-
tre, praising the qualified Bah-
raini women competencies in all
fields, including the banking one.
HRH Princess Sabeeka credit-
ed His Majesty King Hamad bin
Isa Al Khalifa for the strides of
Bahraini women, noting that
HM the King’s sound directives
have made women’s access to
decision-making posts easier.
She underscored the SCW’s
constant keenness to support
all state institutions to honour
their constitutional commit-
ments towards the participation
of the Bahraini women in the
national development process.
HRH Princess Sabeeka valued
highly the efforts of the govern-
ment, led by His Royal Highness
Prime Minister Prince Khali-
fa bin Salman Al Khalifa, and
the support of His Royal High-
ness Prince Salman bin Hamad
Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince,
Deputy Supreme Commander
and First Deputy Prime Minis-
ter, for their incessant support
to the Bahraini women’s march.
The Governor of the Central
Bank of Bahrain (CBB) Rasheed
Al Maraj delivered a statement
in which he extended sincere
thanks and gratitude to HRH
Princess Sabeeka for devoting
this year’s Bahraini Women’s
Day to honour women in the fi-
nancial and banking sector, and
support to all events held to shed
light on Bahraini women’s land-
mark achievements in the sector.
He expressed delight at par-
ticipating in the honouring of
outstanding women pioneers
in the financial and banking
sector whose achievements, he
said, have been among the pil-
lars of the progress of the fi-
nancial sector in the kingdom.
