Bahrain has entered the top 30 economies ranked by the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Information Technology Report, published today. A climb of eight places for the second year running puts the Kingdom 29 of 133 economies worldwide.

Bahrain is the highest climber of the Gulf nations in this year’s rankings and over a three year period, having gained 21 places since 2006. Now a close second in the region, the Kingdom’s rise reflects a commitment to ICT as both a sector in its own right and an enabler of continued economic growth, modernisation and competitiveness, according to Kamal Ahmed, Chief Operating Officer of the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB).END
