Bahrain Bourse (BHB) announced the start of the project of installing the outdoor LED ticker on the front top façade of the Bourse’s location at the Bahrain Financial Harbour, overlooking the commercial district of Manama and the King Faisal Highway to display the live trading activity at the Bourse during and after the trading session.
The project of installing the full colored outdoor LED ticker, with a size of 128 square meters, comes in line with BHB’s efforts to provide more channels for investors in the securities market, by allowing them to watch the live trading activity and stock prices of securities. The ticker will enhance the disclosure and transparency levels at the Bourse in particular and in the capital market sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain in general. The LED ticker will also increase the awareness of trading activity information on securities by making them visible to the citizens, residents and visitors from GCC and other countries. The ticker is expected to begin operating in October 2012.
The ticker will display all trading and listed companies’ information, which will contribute in increasing the awareness of investors and others interested in the stock price movements and trading activity. Listed companies will also get the opportunity to benefit from the ticker by displaying the products, services and facilities they are offering to their clients and the public in the Kingdom of Bahrain. All information and data displayed on the ticker will be visible in the area facing the Bahrain Financial Harbour and the users of King Faisal Highway, which is considered one of the most active and dynamic roads in the Kingdom as it connects most areas in Bahrain with the commercial and financial district in Manama and Seef area.
This project comes in line with Bahrain Bourse’s strategy, in which marketing the Bourse’s services is one of its key elements, along with developing various awareness programs for investors in general and retail investors in particular.
