The evolution of the monetary and banking system in Bahrain has not been well documented until now. Bahrain moved to Independence in 1971 but, prior to that relied on creating monetary and financial stability by implementing a currency board which was the predecessor to a central bank. This book chronicles the abandonment of the Gulf rupee as the official currency and the adoption of the Bahraini dinar, the creation of a currency board and ultimately the creation of a central bank, detailing the process and problems resolved on the way. The text is largely based on data available from the UK archives thereby providing a unique insight into the rich money and banking history of the country.

In 1945 Qatar had no schools or telephones and only one doctor to serve the estimated population of around 25,000. During the 1950s and 1960s the economy grew as oil revenues poured in. By the mid-1970s Qatar had the second highest GNP per head in the world, exceeded only by Kuwait. The evolution of the monetary and banking system in Qatar enabling this transformation has not, until now, been well documented. This book chronicles the abandonment of the Gulf rupee as the official currency and the adoption of the Qatari riyal, the creation of a currency board followed by the Qatar Monetary Agency and ultimately the creation of a central bank. The text draws uniquely on statistical analysis drawn from the official archives and from the British Embassy for the time period. The author was formerly an advisor to the CEO of a branch of the Islamic Development Bank Group in Saudi Arabia and previously Chief Economist at the Central Bank of Bahrain.

Kuwait lies at the head of the Arabian Gulf bordering Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It is located close to the frontier between Iraq and Iran. Kuwait forcefully entered the modern era in 1938 when oil was discovered although it was not fully exploited until the early 1950s. By the 1960s Kuwait had become the richest country in the world (wealth being measured in terms of national income per capita). In 1961 Kuwait gained its independence from Great Britain, a significant milestone in its political and economic development. This story of the money and banking history of Kuwait provides a fresh perspective on a nation that within a matter of decades has become a sophisticated banking centre. Author Brian Kettell was motivated to write this thorough account of the subject because of the lack of detailed texts available. He explains Kuwait's unique story lucidly and with authority. The book will be of interest to the layman and expert alike providing fresh insights and comprehensive detail. The text is largely based on data available from the UK archives thereby providing a unique insight into the rich history of money and banking in Kuwait. Brian is uniquely placed as an expert in money and banking of the Middle East having worked in the region in several senior banking and financial positions. He most recently worked as advisor to the CEO of a branch of the Islamic Development Bank in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Prior to that he was Economic Advisor for the Central Bank of Bahrain and has had advisory positions at a range of financial institutions including Noor Islamic Bank (UAE), the African Development Bank and the UK Treasury. He has published 28 books on banking and financial markets and currently lives in the UAE.

The evolution of modern currency in the UAE reflects its economic growth from the underdeveloped years prior to the formation of the new state into a powerful global financial hub. These developments saw the abandonment of the Gulf rupee as the official currency and the adoption of the Qatar & Dubai Currency Board riyal in most emirates. As the Trucial States evolved into the United Arab Emirates they created a currency board prior to the formation of a central bank. This book details the process and problems resolved on the way. The text draws heavily on statistical analysis for the time period drawn from UK archives.

Financial markets across the Arabian Peninsula have gone from being small, quasi-medieval structures in the 1960s to large world-class groupings of financial institutions. This evolution has been fueled by vast increases in income from oil and natural gas. The Financial Markets of the Arab Gulf presents and analyzes the banks, stock markets, investment companies, money changers and sovereign wealth funds that have grown from this oil wealth and how this income has acted as a buffer between Gulf society at large and the newfound cash reserves of Gulf Cooperation Council states (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain) over the last fifty years. By assessing the development of institutions like the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, the Public Investment Fund and the National Bank of Kuwait, The Financial Markets of the Arab Gulf evaluates the growth of the markets and provides a detailed, critical, snapshot of the current form and function of the Gulf’s financial markets. It argues that the markets have been controlled by various state institutions for socio-political reasons. In particular, the Saudi state has used its sophisticated regulatory regime to push for industrialization and diversification, which culminated in the Vision 2030 plan. The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman have also been strongly involved in establishing modern markets for similar purposes but have done so through different means, with varying results, and each in line with what has been considered their respective comparative advantages. Along with critically surveying these institutions and their role in global finance, the book also presents case studies depicting transactions typical to the region, including the highly profitable documentary credits of commercial banks, the financial scandal of certain financiers and their regulatory arbitrage between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, a review of the Dubai’s trade miracle, and an assessment of the value and importance of the privatization of Saudi Aramco.

In 2011 the World Bank—with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—launched the Global Findex database, the world's most comprehensive data set on how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. Drawing on survey data collected in collaboration with Gallup, Inc., the Global Findex database covers more than 140 economies around the world. The initial survey round was followed by a second one in 2014 and by a third in 2017. Compiled using nationally representative surveys of more than 150,000 adults age 15 and above in over 140 economies, The Global Findex Database 2017: Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It has additional data on the use of financial technology (or fintech), including the use of mobile phones and the Internet to conduct financial transactions. The data reveal opportunities to expand access to financial services among people who do not have an account—the unbanked—as well as to promote greater use of digital financial services among those who do have an account. The Global Findex database has become a mainstay of global efforts to promote financial inclusion. In addition to being widely cited by scholars and development practitioners, Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The database, the full text of the report, and the underlying country-level data for all figures—along with the questionnaire, the survey methodology, and other relevant materials—are available at www.worldbank.org/globalfindex.
