Bahrain's economy expanded 4.6 percent in real terms in the second quarter of this year, the island kingdom's statistics office said on Tuesday, slower than the pace of growth in the first quarter.
The gross domestic product of the small non-OPEC oil producer rose by 1.1 percent from the previous three months, the statistics office quoted Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa as saying on its website www.cio.gov.bh.
The prime minister said that the second-quarter growth was satisfactory given current economic challenges.
