Bahrain is set to inject an additional $17 billion into its economy through new projects, building on the success of having already attracted $17bn in foreign direct investment (FDI) since 2018.
The massive investment pipeline was announced by Finance and National Economy Minister Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa at the opening yesterday of the flagship Gateway Gulf investment forum, a platform uniting global investors and regional leaders.
His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, deputed Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa to inaugurate the third edition of the forum.
Shaikh Khalid highlighted that this year’s forum reflects a deep awareness of current challenges and the need to enhance regional integration and create innovative pathways for sustainable development.
The projects are scheduled to be formally announced over the two-day event at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay across 61 announcements and 33 signing ceremonies.
