Manama: The Information and eGovernment Authority announced the preliminary estimates of GDP for the second quarter of 2025, indicating that Bahrain's economy grew by 2.5% at constant prices and 2.3% at current prices on an annual basis.
According to Bahrain News Agency, non-oil GDP grew by 3.5% at constant prices and 5.3% at current prices for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year. This reflects the continued national efforts to diversify sources of income and enhance the contribution of non-oil sectors to the economy.
In contrast, oil GDP recorded a decline of 2.6% at constant prices and 14.2% at current prices, due to the fall in global oil prices and lower production volumes.
Most economic activities achieved positive growth rates, with professional, scientific, and technical activities recording the highest growth at 12%, followed by wholesale and retail trade activities at 6.7%, and real estate activities at 4.7% at constant prices.
At current prices, professional, scientific, and technical activities also recorded the highest growth rate at 12.7%, followed by information and communication activities at 10.9%, and accommodation and food services at 10.4%.
