New maternity charges for visitors at public hospitals
Non-Bahraini visitors and non-residents will be charged new rates for childbirth at government hospitals from 1 July 2025, under a decision by the Supreme Council of Health (SCH). Natural births will cost BD425, while caesarean sections will be priced at BD1,025. The change follows a detailed review carried out with the relevant bodies to re-examine the cost of maternity care. The figures were adjusted to match the actual outlay, including pay for medical staff, supplies used during delivery, and supporting services. Those living in Bahrain and women employed in the public sector are not affected by the revised prices. They will continue to receive maternity services as per the current rules. The Council said the move is part of its push to improve how services are shared out and to ensure the quality of care can be maintained over time.

Woman obliged to pay man Dhs 299,000 for tickets and hotel stay booked by him in UAE
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a woman to pay Dhs299,722 to a colleague who had arranged flight tickets and hotel bookings for her and her family through his connections with airlines and travel agencies, after promising him to pay later but failed to do so even after returning. The plaintiff stated that the woman travelled and returned without settling the payment for the business-class tickets and hotel reservations, totaling Dhs333,025 so he was forced to pay the amount himself after receiving a discount from the travel agency. During the trial, the judge questioned the plaintiff, who affirmed that he booked the tickets and accommodations for the appellee and her family, totaling Dhs299,722 but despite repeated requests, she did not pay, forcing him to cover the cost from his own account. He added that there was a witness to support his claim. The appellee denied the allegations, stating that the plaintiff, who was responsible for booking tickets at work, offered the tickets and reservations as a gift, which she accepted, arguing that he only demanded payment after a significant delay, indicating it was a gift. The witness, an employee of the travel agency, testified under oath that the plaintiff requested bookings for a female employee and her family, totaling approximately Dhs290,000 but it was discovered the request was personal, not related to a government entity, causing issues with the company's management. The plaintiff was asked to pay, and he later settled the amount after receiving a 30% discount, with receipts as proof. The witness also affirmed hearing the plaintiff's phone conversation with the appellee demanding payment. After reviewing the evidence, including SMSs between the parties (which the appellee did not deny) and the witness testimony, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff and ordered the woman to pay him Dhs299,722.

Nigeria: Naira gains at official market, weakens at parallel market
The Nigerian naira strengthened at the official Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) on Monday, closing at N1,531.19 per dollar, an improvement from N1,536.89/$ recorded on Friday. This marginal appreciation comes after a week of struggle, where the currency depreciated by 1.25 percent to settle at N1,536.89/$ on Friday. However, in the parallel market, the naira weakened to N1,570 per dollar, compared to N1,568/$ at the end of last week. This marks a reversal from last week's N12 gain against the dollar, when the currency appreciated by 0.77 percent week-on-week, closing at N1,568/$ on average. The continued volatility in the foreign exchange market has raised concerns among financial analysts and industry stakeholders. The Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) expressed concern over the naira's instability, stating that the currency has become one of the most unpredictable in the world. According to the association, the naira has been subject to trade wars, exchange rate pressures, and speculative attacks, further complicating its trajectory. Despite the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) efforts to boost foreign exchange supply to banks and Bureau De Change operators, the local currency remains under pressure. Experts warn that while these interventions may offer short-term relief, they do not address the structural issues affecting Nigeria's forex market. 'Looking ahead, we anticipate a mixed outlook for the naira as demand for the dollar intensifies. FX users and speculators continue to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities. However, we expect the CBN to maintain its weekly interventions to stabilise the currency,' analysts at Cowry Assets Management Limited stated. At the official NAFEM window, the naira closed at N2,025 per British Pound Sterling, N1,700 per Euro, N1,115 per Canadian Dollar (CAD), and N215 per Chinese Yuan. The naira's movement in both markets reflects the ongoing struggle between monetary policies and market forces, with stakeholders closely watching the CBN's next steps to ensure a more stable foreign exchange environment.
