Bahrain's $44 billion economy, growing 2.7% in 2025, relies on oil, finance, and aluminum, with per capita GDP at $25,000. Oil exports lead, but machinery imports rise for its 1.5 million people. Public debt and youth unemployment challenge stability. Recent renewable energy projects and tourism investments drive diversification. Bahrain focuses on education and tech innovation to reduce dependency on hydrocarbons, leveraging its Gulf location. Aiming for sustainable growth, it navigates oil price volatility. Investments in infrastructure and social programs enhance resilience, positioning Bahrain as a regional hub for economic development and innovation.
