Bahrain Fronteira

Visão geral da economia e do setor

Bahrain is a small island nation in the Arabian Gulf with a nominal GDP of approximately $47.7 billion and a population of roughly 1.6 million. The economy depends significantly on oil and natural gas, international banking and financial services, and tourism, though non-oil activities now account for roughly 86 percent of real GDP. Bahrain is a long-established regional financial center and home to a large concentration of Islamic banking institutions. The government has pursued economic diversification under its Vision 2030 framework, with manufacturing led by aluminium smelting playing a notable role alongside growing fintech and logistics sectors. The Bahraini dinar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 0.376 BHD per USD.
