Volume 5 Draft Common and Specific Modules for Representative Office Licensees

The Central Bank of Bahrain issued a feedback statement addressing industry comments on the Representative Offices Rulebook consultation. The revised framework amends service definitions to explicitly include wholly owned subsidiaries and mandates a ten-year retention period for corporate records while grandfathering historical non-English or Arabic documents. Furthermore, the regulator confirmed that licensees must submit their parent company annual report within six months of the financial year end to maintain compliance.
