Two financing agreements, with a value of more than $1 billion, have been signed between the Government of Bahrain and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED).

Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Bahraini Minister of Finance, and Hamad Suleiman Al Omar, deputy director-general of the Fund, signed the agreements, which are part of a grant provided by Kuwait within the Gulf Development Programme, news agency WAM reported, citing Bahrain News Agency.

The first agreement involves an amendment to a previously signed agreement between the two parties with regard to housing projects at Al Madina Al Shamaliya and East Hidd. Under the new provision, the total amount of the funding will reach $996 million, in order to finance additional housing units in the project and associated infrastructure works.
