The EDB last year attracted its highest level of investment since its establishment, totalling BD942 million ($2.5 billion) in local, regional and global direct investments, stemming from 107 investment projects.
The details were announced by Sustainable Development Minister and Bahrain EDB chief executive officer Noor Al Khulaif during her presentation during the meeting showcasing the EBD’s key achievements in 2025.
“These cumulative investment commitments are expected to create more than 5,800 employment opportunities over three years. The EDB attracted investments across key sectors, including manufacturing, tourism, financial services, ICT and logistics,” she said.
Manufacturing accounted for the largest share of total investment, reflecting strong investor confidence in Bahrain’s industrial base and export-oriented capabilities.
This was followed by tourism, driven by sustained growth in hospitality projects and financial services, reflecting the kingdom’s enduring appeal as a leading regional financial hub, the minister added.
