Bahrain economy to grow 3% in 2015 – FinMin

Mubasher: Bahrain’s gross domestic product will likely see a rise by more than 3% in 2015 compared with a year earlier, said Finance Minister Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, adding that the kingdom’s economic situation is stable.

The minister told Bahrain News Agency (NBA) that taking steps aimed to diversify sources of income and create new economic segments is key for the economy in the coming period.

The Bahraini economy is solid, as it overcame the financial crises and the fall in oil prices in recent years, said the minister, ruling out that the economic situation would worsen in the coming years.
