As the group's accountancy partner, BDO Bahrain will collaborate with OBG's research and editorial team to produce the Accountancy and Tax Chapter of The Report: Bahrain 2012.
OBG's forthcoming economic research on the Kingdom is expected to chart Bahrain's progress in diversifying its economy by moving to develop high-potential growth areas.
It will also contain a detailed, sector-by-sector analysis for foreign investors, alongside a wide range of interviews with the most prominent political, economic and business leaders.
BDO Bahrain is a member firm of the major professional services company BDO International.
The global network has offices in more than 130 countries providing a wide range of accounting and auditing, tax and consultancy services.
OBG's Country Director Anna Dabrowska said at the MOU signing ceremony in Bahrain that she expected the third year of collaboration with BDO to focus on the key accounting practices and to provide an overview of the competitive tax regime in the Kingdom.
“The Kingdom continues to maintain a reputation as a favored investment destination largely due to its attractive business environment,” she said.
Dabrowska added: "During our time in the kingdom, Oxford Business Group has established a fruitful working relationship with BDO Bahrain and benefited greatly from its experts' local and regional market knowledge. I am delighted to welcome them on board for our 2012 report which will give investors a valuable insight into Bahrain's efforts to regain momentum in its economic development."
Habib Jawad Habib, partner with BDO Bahrain, said easy access to GCC markets, which has been strengthened by improved connectivity, had helped reaffirm Bahrain's position as a favored destination for international investors.
