Bahrain's onshore and offshore banks have extensive experience providing syndicated loans for larger risk projects, including major infrastructure investments.  The Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) promotes industrial development in Bahrain.  The BDB also lends funds for local projects it deems to be priorities.  BDB funding is not restricted to Bahraini-owned companies.  BDB funds are allocated on market terms and available to foreign investors.  Credit terms are variable, but usually limited to ten years with a maximum grace period of two years.
