Bahrain’s Strategic Sectors Show Strong Progress Under Economic Vision 2030

Bahrain’s strategic sectors, including energy, industry, transport and logistics, and tourism, are showing strong and sustained progress as the Kingdom advances its long-term economic diversification goals under Economic Vision 2030.

The Vision, which aims to reduce reliance on oil revenues, has helped drive significant growth in non-oil activities, with the non-oil sector now contributing around 85 per cent of Bahrain’s gross domestic product. This shift reflects continued investment in high-value industries and future-focused infrastructure.

In the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Bahrain continues to achieve strong international recognition. The Kingdom ranks first in the Arab region on the ICT Development Index (IDI) 2023 and fourth globally in the Telecommunication Infrastructure Index, highlighting its advanced digital infrastructure and commitment to innovation.

Manufacturing and industry also remain key pillars of the economy, with Bahrain established as a regional hub for aluminium production. Aluminum Bahrain (Alba) plays a central role in this success, supporting downstream industries and strengthening export capacity.

In the energy sector, efforts continue to focus on enhancing oil and gas production efficiency, with Bapco Refining leading initiatives to modernise facilities and support energy security while aligning with broader sustainability goals.

Together, these achievements underline Bahrain’s steady progress in building a diversified, competitive, and resilient economy, positioning the Kingdom for long-term growth beyond oil.
