The 2026 annual report from the Institute for Management Development (IMD) highlighted Bahrain’s success in improving its global ranking to 20th among 70 economies, advancing from 22nd place last year. This progress is attributed to its improved performance across the four key areas assessed by the report: it ranked 12th in economic performance, seventh in government efficiency, 12th in business efficiency, and 13th in infrastructure. Bahrain’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached $49 billion in 2025, with a real growth rate of 3.5%, an unemployment rate of 5.6%, and a per capita GDP of $70,650. The government has set goals to boost innovation, reduce carbon emissions, enhance education, and promote economic collaboration to strengthen its competitiveness.
