Understand the numbers
What Bahrain's economic profile is telling you
Bahrain's economy pairs a sizeable services base with industrial activity linked to aluminium, energy and related manufacturing. World Bank data show positive real growth and a low modeled unemployment rate.
Merchandise trade is large relative to the size of the economy. Saudi Arabia was the largest export destination in the 2024 WTO profile, while China and the European Union were the largest import sources.
The main economic signal
Bahrain should be read through the combination of output growth, price pressure, labor conditions, sector structure and trade rather than through GDP alone.
Why the definitions matter
Nominal GDP, real growth, CPI inflation, unemployment, sector value added and merchandise trade measure different things. Their units, years and sources stay visible throughout the page.
