An Update On The Development Law

The Government of Bahrain issued Law No 28 of 2014 (Development Law) in August 2014. Whilst we are awaiting for the regulatory and administrative systems to be put in place, the Implementation Regulations together with a number of supporting Ministerial Orders (Relevant Laws and Regulations) were recently issued to further flesh out the provisions of the Development Law. We have set out below a summary of some of the main provisions of the Relevant Laws and Regulations and do not at this point intend to provide an in depth analysis until further points have been made clear.

Unless defined elsewhere in this article, any defined terms will have the meanings set out in our Development Law article.
