His Royal Highness Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, has directed the initiation of legal and constitutional procedures to submit a draft law that mandates covering the salaries of Bahraini employees insured in private sector companies for the month of April through the unemployment insurance fund.

This move reflects a strategic government intervention aimed at safeguarding national workforce stability while providing direct financial relief to private sector employers, ensuring business continuity during ongoing economic pressures.

The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening the private sector as a key driver of economic growth, while simultaneously protecting citizens’ livelihoods and maintaining income stability across the labor market.

The directive was announced during a Cabinet meeting chaired by the Crown Prince, where a range of economic measures were reviewed to support vital sectors, as reported by the Bahrain News Agency, highlighting a proactive approach to economic management.

In parallel, the Central Bank of Bahrain unveiled a comprehensive program to defer loan repayments and inject liquidity into the financial system, reinforcing market stability and easing financial burdens on both individuals and businesses.
