Bahrain has weathered the effects of a difficult global economic period well, and its recovery has been solid, demonstrating the strength and flexibility of its economy. The government’s drive to diversify away from oil and gas dependence has been renewed, and a wealth of ambitious non-oil sector projects – from infrastructure to renewable energy technology – is now in the pipeline.

Yet as the Kingdom branches out into more diverse and specialised segments within tourism and industry, the country is set to develop an even more broad-based and resilient economy.
