Vision 2030 and allied projects driving the market
- The Kingdom of Bahrain's government has given the development of the technical infrastructure a great deal of priority, reflecting its unwavering conviction that modern technology benefits and privileges are crucial for advancing the national economy and creating an environment conducive to the growth of both the private and public sectors. As a result, the Kingdom of Bahrain has steadily built over the past few years a strategic strategy for moving to Cloud Policy First, making Bahrain the first Middle Eastern nation and one of the top states in the world to adopt cloud computing.
- Bahrain has seen a paradigm shift with the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members. On the one hand, the economies of the GCC are changing course to become more competitive and sustainable by investing in future-defining and oil-proof industries like services, technology, and renewable energy. On the other hand, the global adoption of innovation and digitalization accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, GCC nations intensified their efforts to diversify their economies, emphasizing foreign direct investments. Bahrain may now want to think about the specific developing potential for FDI to carve a sustainable, specialized niche within an increasingly tech-oriented global economy in light of these trends and their unique configuration.
- With over USD 210 billion in total assets, Bahrain remains a significant player in the regional financial services industry. According to the Bahrain Economic Development Board, the largest non-oil sector in Bahrain's economy is financial services, contributing about 18% of GDP in 2020. Although the UAE and KSA's financial services industries are well-diversified and strong, there is room for improvement in the GCC's trade finance transparency. Bahrain might meet this requirement by setting up a business that offers ratings for trade finance deals and expanding these ratings internationally. Bahrain can build such a platform using cutting-edge technology like blockchain.
