The GCC region is emerging as one of the world's most dynamic economic success stories. The Gulf economies are projected to grow by 3.5% in 2024 to a combined total of about USD 2.1 trillion and are expected to reach USD 2.8 trillion by 2030, according to the International Monetary Fund. Key to this growth is an ambitious economic diversification agenda which is driving investment across a range of non-oil sectors.

Bahrain is one of the most diversified economies in the Gulf, with the non-oil sector contributing 84% to its GDP in 2023. As the Kingdom continues to prioritize investments in high-potential sectors such as financial services, ICT, manufacturing, logistics and tourism, it is also focusing on developing its human capital and furthering its digital transformation agenda. Bahrain's forward-looking policies, strategic location, and business-friendly environment have made it one of the region's most attractive destinations for international investors looking to expand into the wider GCC market.

The Kingdom's role in driving regional collaboration and co-investments will be highlighted at Gateway Gulf, with discussions on how these partnerships can further unlock sustainable economic growth.
