Gulf One Investment Bank (“Gulf One” or “the Bank”) is a leading infrastructure investment bank within the GCC, with investments and financial services focused on infrastructure and mega-projects.

Our professional independence is the main ingredient for unbiased decisions. Our diversified intellectual capital guarantees high standard of execution. Our commitment and understanding of the culture, the region and its people will enable us to deliver only the exceptional.

The Banks primary focus is on vital economic sectors including water, power, mining, transport and down-stream petrochemicals.

Gulf One's focus is to inject creative methods and utilize innovative solutions to address the structural, financial and economic needs of the region using the highest standards of regional and international know-how, cutting edge financial products, and best practice.

The Bank’s vision stems from its Founders’ strong belief in the vast investment potential of GCC infrastructure projects and private equity. In line with profound economic transformation and long term structural trend, the region has to focus on its natural strengths and to direct its wealth to promising investments that will be the future impetus of economic prosperity.

The combination of the region’s rapid population growth (3.4% per annum) and aging infrastructure is creating the imperative for massive infrastructure investment. Despite unprecedented high oil revenues flowing into the GCC economies, there is an increasing yet little acknowledged shortfall of funds to meet the vast demand for financing such capital spending. These factors underscore the pressing need for regional Governments to optimize the management of state cash flows. Innovative proven public sector financing solutions customized to regional needs can offer an effective remedy.

The management of Gulf One realizes that structural reforms coupled with strong regional economic growth have created a growing demand for investment banking services and significantly increased opportunities for investment across a broad spectrum of industries. The challenge is to strike the optimal balance between future investments and spending on structural reforms, and financing infrastructure shortages. In line with this opportunity, Gulf One will assist the region to prosper by bringing innovative financial solutions custom tailored to regional needs.

Gulf One will tailor its products and services towards a target sector of activity - infrastructure mega-projects - to leverage the Bank’s competitive advantages while maximising earnings and optimising its positive social impact. To provide strategic depth and income diversity across its products and services, Gulf One will selectively offer its services in non-infrastructure sectors.

Gulf One operates from offices located in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain under a wholesale banking license granted by the Central Bank of Bahrain. The bank is guided by Islamic principles.
