Bahrain issues new crowdfunding regulations 

The Central Bank of Bahrain has set new rules governing crowdfunding-based activities as the country looks to open up more avenues of funding for smaller businesses and broaden the pool of liquidity.

The move follows a comprehensive review of existing regulations and contains rules regarding both equity and financing-based crowdfunding.

The new regulations include principles governing the conduct of operations by the platform, rules on platform offers and disclosures, avoiding conflicts of interest, as well as segregating client money from platform operators to ensure the safe operation of the activity.
