World-class establishments like that of Batelco's Hamala Data Centre will contribute positively towards boosting the Kingdom's digital economy, said Rasheed Al Maraj, the Governor of the Central Bank of Bahrain.

Al Maraj said the development of such facilities is in line with the Kingdom of Bahrain's aspirations for the banking and financial technology sectors.

He was visiting Batelco's Hamala Data centre, which is the largest of its kind in Bahrain, in the presence of Batelco Chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa and executives from both organisations.

The governor praised the excellent quality of the Data Centre, saying: “We are proud to have a Data Centre of this calibre in Bahrain.”

The Data Centre, located in Hamala, is Batelco's second with a Tier III certificate from the Uptime Institute for data centre construction and
