Protests force Bahrain bourse move - The National

Bahrain's stock market was forced to move to emergency premises at dawn yesterday as hundreds of protesters blocked access to its Financial Harbour office.

Share trading continued, but with volumes only 20 to 30 per cent of normal levels. Ali al Mansori, an exchange spokesman, said it was too early to say if business would resume in the Financial Harbour today.

Demonstrators seriously disrupted normal business in Bahrain with a targeted move against Manama's Financial Harbour district, the heart of the country's investment and banking industry.
