Growth in the next two years is not heartening either, with 2013 clocking a 2.8% growth and 2014 witnessing a 2.9% improvement, according to IMF estimates.
After exploding onto the front pages early last year, Bahrain's political crisis had taken a backseat to the more violent Syrian crisis and the political drama unravelling in Egypt over the course of the past 12 months.
