Year of unrest in Bahrain cost businesses up to $800 million

Businesses in Bahrain have lost up to $800 million over the past 12 months due to civil unrest which has rippled across the country, a report revealed this week.

About $200 million of the sum were losses as a direct impact of the anti-government uprising in Bahrain, while the remaining $600 million were indirect losses occurring in its aftermath, according to finding reported by Gulf Daily News.

“Revival depends on survival and we need to help our Bahraini businessmen, small and big, through compensation to ensure that they are able to continue,” Dalal Al Zayed, legislative and legal affairs committee chairman said after the report was presented the country’s National Assembly on Monday.
