Bahrain Scores Big: Signs Historic $17B Deal with the US Covering Tech, Aviation, Cables, and Flights
Mahir Haneef TDT| Manama Bahrain has signed a sweeping set of private-sector deals with American companies totalling approximately USD 17 billion, marking one of the kingdom's most significant economic engagements with the United States in recent years. The announcement came during a high-level reception hosted at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce headquarters on Tuesday, attended by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The event brought together leading Bahraini and American business figures and marked the unveiling of transformative partnerships in technology, aviation, infrastructure, and industrial investment. Strategic collaborations The reception featured the signing of landmark agreements, including a digital solutions project for Bahrain's government telecoms network with Cisco and the development of a major undersea fibre-optic cable linking Bahrain to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq. The cable, stretching 800 kilometres, is being executed in partnership with U.S.-based SubCom. New air connectivity was also unveiled, with plans to launch direct flights between Bahrain and New York. This move is expected to boost business and tourism ties while underscoring Bahrain's ambitions to become a central regional hub for U.S. firms. Aluminium and capital flow In addition to infrastructure deals, Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat announced USD 2 billion in strategic cooperation with U.S. firms focused on aluminium-related downstream industries. Meanwhile, Bahrain-based private and financial institutions are investing USD 10.7 billion in various American ventures, reinforcing a two-way channel of economic cooperation. On behalf of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, His Excellency Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Minister of Finance and National Economy, expressed Bahrain's appreciation for the Chamber's hospitality and urged U.S. firms to capitalise on the kingdom's open economy and trade agreements. A legacy of partnership HRH Prince Salman highlighted that the Bahrain-U.S. relationship, rooted in over 130 years of ties, continues to deepen through private-sector engagement. He reaffirmed the kingdom's commitment to building economic bridges through collaborative investments and the exchange of expertise. The event also included the presence of His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Minister of the Prime Minister's Court, and senior officials from both nations. The deals announced reflect Bahrain's growing role as a regional entry point for American enterprise and digital infrastructure projects. These announcements signal not only Bahrain's economic ambitions but also its strategic positioning in a shifting global investment landscape.

EU unveils blueprint for boosted 2-trillioneuro budget
The EU executive proposed yesterday a long-term budget boosted to two trillion euros ($2.3 trillion) as Europe confronts complex challenges, from overseas competition to Russian aggression at its borders. Presenting the 2028-2034 budget blueprint to reporters in Brussels, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said it 'will be the most ambitious ever proposed. It is more strategic, more flexible, more transparent'. In drawing up the plans, von der Leyen had to balance bolstering the bloc's security, ramping up Europe's competitiveness to keep up with US and Chinese rivals, countering climate change and paying debts due from 2028. And all of this was against a backdrop of soaring trade tensions with the European Union's biggest commercial partner, the United States. The European Commission announced a 451-billion-euro competitiveness fund to support the EU's investment efforts in clean tech, digital, defence and food security and innovation. As Europe pushes to rearm, the amounts dedicated to defence and space will increase five-fold -- to 131 billion euros. And the spending plan proposed earmarking up to 100 billion euros to support war-torn Ukraine over its seven-year period. 'This is a long-term commitment to Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction,' budget chief Piotr Serafin said. Hungary, Russia's closest ally in Europe, slammed the money for Kyiv. 'Ukraine would get a massive funding boost, while European farmers lose out,' Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said before the official announcement by the commission. The large farming subsidies that make up the biggest share of the budget, known as the common agricultural policy (CAP), are a subject of fierce debate. Serafin, however, said that under the commission's plans, 300 billion euros would be ring-fenced to support farmers, who have been worried about potential cuts to their slice of the pie. In the current seven-year budget, the CAP accounted for almost a third of funding -- around 387 billion euros, of which 270 billion euros are directly paid to farmers.

Britain lifts ban on Pakistani airlines
Britain has lifted restrictions on Pakistani airlines, the UK embassy in Islamabad said on Wednesday, ending a fiveyear ban on the country's beleaguered national carrier. Flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines was barred from flying to Britain in June 2020, a month after one of its aircraft plunged into a Karachi street, killing nearly 100 people. The disaster was attributed to human error by the pilots and air traffic control, and was followed by allegations that nearly a third of the licences for its pilots were fake or dubious. The UK Air Safety Committee had decided to lift the ban following aviation safety improvements in Pakistan, the British High Commission in Islamabad said, adding that decisions on de-listing states and air carriers were made 'through an independent aviation safety process'. 'Based on this independent and technically-driven process, it has decided to remove Pakistan and its air carriers from the (UK Air Safety) List,' it said in a statement. The move comes after European regulators lifted a four-year ban on PIA, with the Pakistani state-owned carrier resuming flights to Europe in January. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the lifting of the ban as 'an important milestone for the country'. 'The lifting of the ban on Pakistani flights by the UK is a source of relief for Pakistanis residing in Britain,' he added.
