The Future of Construction in Bahrain to 2015: Political Stability to Decide the Course of Industry
09 Sep 2011 • by Natalie Aster
Just as in neighboring Gulf countries, the Bahrain construction industry had been growing at a robust pace prior to the onset of the global financial crisis. This growth had been fuelled by the country’s long term efforts to diversify its economy, efforts which have led to the emergence of Bahrain as the financial capital of the Middle East and have also led to many multi-national companies establishing their Middle Eastern bases in the country, attracted by favorable tax policies and the country’s strategic location in the center of the Gulf region. In order to further increase its attractiveness, the country also invested heavily in its infrastructure segment, investment that has helped Bahrain to attract increased numbers of tourists, mostly from neighboring Gulf countries. These developments contributed to a robust construction industry prior to the onset of the global recession in 2008, which resulted in a liquidity crisis, decreased foreign investment and the cancellation or postponement of many construction projects. As a result of this early period of rapid growth followed by a contraction of 24.4% in 2009 and minimal growth in 2010, the Bahrain construction industry recorded an overall CAGR of 4.21% during the review period (2006 to 2010).
