Shura panel reviews proposal to set cap on work permits
TDT | Manama Email : editor@ A proposed change to Bahrain's labour law that would compel the government to set a cap on work permits has been passed to the Shura Council's Bureau for possible debate in the next session. The Services Committee, headed by Dr Jameela Mohammed Redha Al Salman, held talks with representatives from the Labour Ministry and the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), including its chief Nibras Mohammed Talib. At the centre of the draft law is a shift from allowing discretion to requiring the Labour Ministry to state the highest number of permits the authority can issue within a certain period. National plan The figure would be written into the national plan, covering all sectors and types of work. MPs from the elected chamber had originally submitted the proposal. The Shura committee's meeting focused on the legal and practical worth of making such a cap compulsory. Rigidity Views were exchanged on whether such a move would help regulate the market or end up adding unnecessary rigidity. Members put forward questions on how such limits might work in practice, and how they would affect the current way permits are managed. The committee has now prepared its report and handed it over to the Bureau for the next step in the legislative process.

Bahrain eyes Nigeria, Africa's largest economy

Africa Strategy Chairman H.E. Sameer Nass received H.E. Murtala Jimoh, the Kuwait-based Charge d'Affaires of the Federal Republic of Nigeria accredited to Bahrain, for a meeting focused on bilateral trade, which reached $24.7 million in 2024. The discussion centred on expanding cooperation in sectors such as agriculture, agro-processing, and energy. Ambassador Jimoh suggested signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Bahrain Chamber and its Nigerian counterpart to facilitate direct links between entrepreneurs, business delegations, and investment forums. Chamber Role H.E. Nass highlighted the Chamber's role as a key enabler of Bahrain's economic diplomacy, noting that building ties with emerging economies like Nigeria is part of a broader vision to diversify trade partners and open up new global corridors for Bahraini businesses. H.E. reaffirmed the Chamber's commitment to working with both brotherly and friendly nations to strengthen private sector growth and global integration. Investment Potential H.E. Ambassador Jimoh, in turn, spoke about Nigeria's economic reforms and ongoing diversification, positioning the country as an appealing market for foreign investors from Bahrain. He expressed confidence that formal collaboration could unlock win-win opportunities.
