What I Cover

I write about Bahrain's economy — banking and finance, the long push to diversify beyond oil, and the small businesses that rarely make the front page but carry the Kingdom's growth.

My Background

I spent years covering Gulf finance across the region before joining News of Bahrain, and I still read a balance sheet more happily than a press release.

Journalistic Ethics

I put numbers before narratives, disclose where my information comes from, and keep a clear line between analysis and advocacy. When I get something wrong, I correct it in public.
