Leading global law firm Baker McKenzie has advised National Bank of Bahrain B.S.C. ("NBB") on a USD 450 million syndicated term loan facility extended by a consortium of prominent regional and international banks.
The facility will support NBB's ongoing corporate growth initiatives and strengthen its liquidity position as it continues to advance its strategic objectives across Bahrain and the wider region.
The transaction successfully closed at the end of November 2025.
Leading on the deal, partner Adil Hussain, the Global Head of Islamic Finance and Head of Banking & Finance Middle East at Baker McKenzie, commented: "This significant financing demonstrates the continued confidence international and regional lenders have in NBB's strong fundamentals and long-term strategy. We are proud to support NBB on a transaction that reinforces its position as one of Bahrain's leading financial institutions and further deepens access to diversified cross-border liquidity."
The Baker McKenzie team was led by Adil Hussain and Chaya Gupta who were supported by Noor Alhashili.
This deal is another testament to Baker McKenzie's ability to advise on complex, multi-jurisdictional financings across the Middle East.
