The Central Bank of Bahrain proposes a regulatory framework for issuing and offering Sustainable and Sustainability-Linked Debt Securities, adding Sections OFS-1.15 and OFS-5.15 to its Offering of Securities Module. The rules require enhanced disclosure standards and independent advisor verification to prevent greenwashing while aligning capital market activities with sustainable development goals. Market participants must submit consultation feedback by 30 September 2025 to shape the final implementation of these issuance requirements.
