Under the agreement, Ernst & Young, Bahrain will work closely with OBG's team of analysts, led in Bahrain by Editorial Manager Amyn Ait Benhassi, to assist them in the production of the publication, which is the latest of OBG's annual business guides to the country.

Tariq Sadiq, Ernst & Young, Bahrain Office's Managing Partner, said: 'I am delighted that our fruitful and highly successful partnership with OBG is to continue.'

Sadiq added, 'OBG's Bahrain publication offers a unique and invaluable guide to regional and foreign investors seeking to gain a clear and up-to-date insight into Bahrain's vibrant, transforming and rapidly expanding economy.'

'We will work with OBG's excellent team to help them provide the most accurate information and guidance available, based on top quality analysis and perspectives stemming from our own in-depth research,' he concluded.

Ernst & Young will work with OBG specialists to write the accountancy section of The Report: Bahrain 2009, liaise directly with OBG's Editorial Manager over content issues, and provide an authoritative viewpoint article for the accountancy section.

Suzanne Claiden, OBG's Country Director, said:

'Ernst & Young has proved to be an extremely valuable partner, and they will continue to provide vital elements of the guidance we offer to investors.'

Claiden added, 'Their advice and research, along with their experience and astute observations, will continue to enhance our Bahrain publication.'

She pointed out, 'Bahrain, with its rapidly expanding economy, is proving a magnet for investors regionally and around the world, who have an increasing thirst for high quality analysis of the vital factors which are the engine of the economy.'

'The continued support of Ernst & Young will again enhance the quality of our publication, which is regarded as a vital tool for the foreign direct investments which the government is eager to attract in pursuit of Bahrain's expansion and diversification,' said Claiden.

The Report: Bahrain 2009 - published in partnership with primary partner, the Bahrain Economic Development Board, with Securities and Investment Company (SICO) as capital markets partner, and Qays H. Zu'bi as legal affairs partner - will feature a series of exclusive interviews with leading political and economic figures, conducted by OBG's team of experienced international analysts, who will be based in Bahrain for six months.
