Introduction to Bahrain

The Kingdom of Bahrain is the most mature, well-established business hub in the Gulf, with the largest financial institutions. Bahrain provides a free, open and transparent environment for businesses and has a globally competitive, value-creation story which focuses on sustainability, skills and good governance.

What is exceptional about Bahrain is that its economy is mature and diversified, which means that instead of depending on oil, it has focused on productivity-led growth. There is a unique vision for the future, which is based on sustainable and productive economic diversification across various sectors. Bahrain is committed to free market and democratic principles as the best means of respecting the rule of law, serving the needs of businesses and individuals, and above all, ensuring the long-term prosperity of its people.

Bahrain is the most liberal and tolerant country within the GCC. The Kingdom has a rich mixture of cultures, and there are few restrictions beyond those you would find in most western industrialised countries.
