Bahrain has continued to press ahead with efforts to diversify its economy away from oil, building up finance, manufacturing, logistics and tourism as pillars of long term growth.
The Kingdom was an early mover among Gulf states in reducing its dependence on hydrocarbons, and successive economic plans have set targets for private sector expansion and job creation.
Officials point to the country’s compact size and skilled workforce as advantages in attracting investment across a range of non oil sectors.
The diversification drive remains central to Bahrain’s outlook as it competes with larger neighbours for capital and talent.
