Bahrain’s Infracorp, the social infrastructure group of GFH Financial Group, has posted a net profit of $6.2 million on a revenue of $17.4 million during the first quarter of 2022. 
 
Making its first financial disclosure since launching earlier this year, Infracorp reported it currently has $3 billion of assets under management.

In March, the company listed a $900 million green sukuk on the London Stock Exchange, the first-ever green sukuk to be listed on the exchange by a Bahraini entity.
 
The company recently launched Harbour Views, an upmarket residential development in Bahrain. Located in Manama’s Harbour Heights area, the project has witnessed strong demand and is considered one of the country’s leading residential sites.
