Bahrain Hires Lazard to Help on How to Fix Finances - Bloomberg

Bahrain Hires Lazard to Help on How to Fix Finances - Bloomberg:

Bahrain hired investment bank Lazard Ltd. to advise on how to repair its strained public finances, according to people with knowledge of the matter, as the island kingdom seeks to secure crucial support from rich neighbors to avoid a currency devaluation. Lazard is helping Bahrain evaluate fiscal reforms to help ease pressure on the state’s budget, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details aren’t public. The options include raising capital from international markets, one of the people said. Bahrain’s Eurobonds dropped after the report. Lazard declined to comment. Bahraini officials didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
