Good morning Bahrain, this is Newzak. We bring you local news every morning at 7AM.
Business is harder
The Shura Council debates a proposal this Sunday that would force any company with a foreign shareholder to put up a BD30,000 bank guarantee for the lifetime of the company. The financial committee has already recommended rejecting it, warning it would hurt Bahrain's reputation as an easy place to do business. This makes it harder for startups and small companies.
Al Dana Dhow
The Al Dana dhow tragedy took place on March 30, 2006, when an overcrowded, modified passenger boat capsized off the coast of Muharraq, claiming 58 lives and injuring more than 70 others. A tribute to mark the 20th anniversary had been planned, but it has now been postponed.
