Bahrain 'riding high' on $30bn infrastructure project pipeline

Bahrain is set for solid growth, riding on a $30-billion infrastructure project pipeline which will attract investment in high-potential industries. The key finance and industrial sectors will enable Bahrain to lay firm foundations for the next phase of its growth plans, said a report.

The report produced by the global research and advisory firm Oxford Business Group (OBG)  provides details of a drive under way to bring the private sector on board for the infrastructure projects pipeline that is expected to support growth in a number of sectors.

It shines a spotlight on the projects designed to facilitate the movement of both goods and people within and across the kingdom’s borders and strengthen the country’s position in the regional logistics industry.

It also explores planned developments to support Bahrain’s tourism expansion efforts now that an easing of pandemic-related restrictions is reinvigorating the sector and increasing visitor numbers.

According to OBG, the report shines a spotlight on the infrastructure projects pipeline that is expected to support growth in a number of sectors, which include attracting investment in high-potential industries and rolling out big-ticket infrastructure projects. 

It analyses the latest developments in the country’s vibrant financial sector, which vies with oil and gas as the largest contributor to the economy. The emergence of the country as a leading financial technology centre is one of several topics examined.

The potential impact of Bahrain’s new 2022-26 Industrial Sector Strategy is explored in detail, with a focus on how the kingdom can better generate downstream value-added to its natural resources and capitalise on the potential of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
