BAHRAIN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Bahrain has taken great strides in diversifying its economy
and its highly developed communication and transport facilities make Bahrain
home to numerous multinational firms with business in the Gulf. As part of its
diversification plans, Bahrain implemented a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with
the US in August 2006, the first FTA between the US and a Gulf state.
Bahrain''s economy, however, continues to depend heavily on oil. Petroleum
production and refining account for more than 60% of Bahrain''s export
receipts, 70% of government revenues, and 11% of GDP. Other major economic
activities are production of aluminum - Bahrain''s second biggest export after
oil - finance, and construction. Bahrain competes with Malaysia as a worldwide
center for Islamic banking and continues to seek new natural gas supplies as
feedstock to support its expanding petrochemical and aluminum industries. In
2011 and 2012, Bahrain experienced economic setbacks as a result of domestic
unrest, however, several factors indicate that the economy is beginning to
recover, such as the return of the formula one race and tourist cruise ships to
Bahrain. Economic policies aimed at restoring confidence in Bahrain''s economy,
such as the suspension of an expatriate labor tax and frequent bailouts of Gulf
Air, will make Bahrain''s foremost long-term economic challenges - youth unemployment
and the growth of government debt - more difficult to address.
