Bahrain’s positive growth is praised

Bahrain’s two per cent gross domestic product (GDP) growth this year is a sign of good things to come, said a global financial expert yesterday.


Standard Chartered Bank Middle East North Africa and Pakistan global markets regional head Marios Maratheftis said the positive growth, though it was low compared with the 7pc in the previous year, was very creditable in view of the other major Gulf economies recording negative growth.


Speaking to the media at the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain, Hotel and Spa, the Dubai-based Mr Maratheftis said Bahrain’s GDP will grow by 3pc or more next year and will contribute significantly to the GCC region, which is slowly emerging as a major player in the global economic scenario.
