The roundtable event sessions addressed the effects of the Corona pandemic on the economies of the Arab Gulf states, the sectors most affected by the closure process, the measures taken by countries in the region to support business continuity and stimulate the economy, and the measures needed to restore economic activity, along with the need to advance small and medium enterprises and encourage a culture of entrepreneurship.
Nass expressed his pride in the considered measures taken by the Bahrain government to confront the Corona pandemic and ensure the safety of citizens and residents, in addition to support packages and exemptions from fees that affected citizens and business owners and contributed significantly to reducing burdens, supporting business continuity and stimulating the national economy.
