Bahrain is unique. Nowhere else in the Middle East is quite so business-friendly.

We have been welcoming foreign investors for decades, so we understand their needs and how to help them prosper.

The Gulf market is growing fast, by 5.5% a year. The combined GDP of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain – is already worth $735 billion, and by 2050 could close the gap with G-7 economies.

The population of the Gulf has grown ten-fold in 50 years, to 40 million in 2006, one of the highest rates in the world.

The oil price windfall has been reinvested in new infrastructure, including transport, telecommunications, education, training and healthcare. Regionally, around $1 trillion infrastructure investments are in the pipeline. By 2010 this could total $3 trillion.

With its unique location at the heart of the Gulf, Bahrain is perfectly positioned to exploit one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
