Quarterly reports provide regular assessments and key information
Manama Bahrain’s economy is on target to meet expectations of 4 per cent year-on-year growth for 2010, according to the Bahrain Economic Quarterly.
The quarterly reports, first published in December 2009, have been developed by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) to provide regular assessments and key information on the Bahrain economy, in the context of the regional and global outlook. GDP growth in Bahrain was 4.3 per cent through the first nine months of 2010.
There was particularly strong growth in hotels and restaurants (up 15 per cent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2010), manufacturing (up 8 per cent) and financial services (up 6 per cent).
