Bahrain's Cabinet reviewed options on Sunday to attract more shareholders to Bahrain's Stock Exchange and build investors' trust.

 

Ministers agreed that a byproduct of building investor trust would be to strengthen the country's position as a key regional investment hub, according to <i>Gulf Daily News</i>.

 

New stock market rules were debated in which small investors would be given greater protection in the market.

 

The Bahrain Monetary Agency and Industry and Commerce Ministry were assigned the task of preparing a study on the matter.
