The weakness of the legislature suggests that no major changes to policy will arise as a result of the 2010 parliamentary election. There will be underlying tensions over economic inequalities, the halting pace of political liberalisation and perceptions of sectarian discrimination. ea4aa8af31da2e2c0d6b00cd8589aec2Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/country_report_bahrain_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 In 2009-10 the rule of the king, Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, is expected to remain broadly secure, with the Al Khalifa family retaining control over the executive branch of government and the legislature remaining weak. There will be underlying tensions over economic inequalities, the halting pace of political liberalisation and perceptions of sectarian discrimination. The main foreign policy concern will be Iran's (officially civilian) nuclear programme, although Bahrain will seek to maintain cordial ties with Iran. f53d7b256bc9a4c4d2721558f855560eMon, 14 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/bahrain_business_forecast_report.htmlReturning To Normal, But Boom Days Are Over As we move towards the final year of the decade, the signs are that an economic recovery is on track: oil prices are higher, market sentiment is picking back up, and several formerly recessionary economies around the globe are registering positive growth again. As far as Bahrain is concerned, the contraction has only been minimal anyway, in spite of the collapse in oil prices in H208, and growth should return to a sustainable, but lower rate from 2010. Indeed, it may even avoid recession altogether. fcb111827fa2c757b41d3dbb1079fc7aWed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/country_report_bahrain_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 8131e68eddb888425983d000a9a4e6a7Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/country_report_bahrain_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 In 2009-10 the rule of the king, Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, is expected to remain broadly secure, with the Al Khalifa family retaining control over the executive branch of government and the legislature remaining weak.

The government has stabilised the financial system for now, but its fiscal stimulus is modest compared with the magnitude of the slowdown. Switzerland's large and economically strategic financial sector faces structural changes and is expected to shrink in size and contribution to growth. 620b973cf1f6715437b51da934030222Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/country_report_bahrain_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 In 2009-10 the rule of the king, Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, is expected to remain broadly secure, with the Al Khalifa family retaining control over the executive branch of government and the legislature remaining weak.

Police allegations that a number of young men planned to carry out bomb attacks in December 2008 highlight the risk that violence could increase and appear to be prompting a wide-ranging crackdown on opposition activists. Iran's nuclear programme will remain Bahrain's chief foreign policy concern. aa05525c8d5e984fa32654ba0a40bf20Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/country_report_bahrain_december_2008.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The rule of the king, Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, is expected to remain broadly stable, but discontent over the pace of political liberalisation and the persistence of economic inequalities will result in protests and riots.

In an effort to limit support for hardline opposition groups, the government will boost spending on programmes designed to improve living standards. The government budget is expected to record small deficits. ecf15e6ee9e5ec263d765b638fb292bfTue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/bahrain_business_forecast_report_q2_2008.htmlGrowth Diversifying But Oil Remains Key Like many of its regional peers, Bahrain is enjoying the current oil price boom while at the same time trying to diversify its economy away from the hydrocarbons industry in anticipation of future price falls. The need is particularly pressing in Bahrain in light of its relatively small oil reserves, but its diversification efforts are also more advanced - non-oil sectors already account for more than 8 % of real GDP. On the political front, we see little threat to the al-Khalifa family's rule, although ongoing unrest from several quarters does pose some threat to stability going forward. e80913c9f797f429c78d007ab7f04564Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/bahrain_business_forecast_report_q1_2008.htmlPositive Economic Outlook, But Employment An Issue Economic diversification is a major theme in Bahrain, as it is throughout the Middle East. However, the issue is more pressing in Bahrain, in light of its relatively small oil reserves and declining oil production. Diversification into new industries - with the emphasis on the services sector - is essential, not just to ensure economic growth, but also to provide new job opportunities. 48f18c308b5d19df06ed598ecaf4ee3dFri, 21 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrainhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/middle_east/bahrain/bahrain_infrastructure_annual_report_2008.htmlThe Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of almost 40 islands and is centrally located between the Persian Gulf countries. The island nation was among the first in the Gulf to export oil. However, its oil resources are fast depleting and could run out in a couple of decades. b898d07b38a179d45e959fb151b749dcFri, 30 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GBMiddle East/Bahrain
