Outlook for Bahrain for 2013 in Terms of FDIs

Osama Al Khajah, Founder and President of EBTIKAR Association and Chairman of Baytik Industrial Oasis, talks about the outlook for Bahrain for 2013 in terms of FDIs.

While 2012 was a difficult year, Bahrain still achieved acceptable growth. Looking beyond, Al Khajah thinks “2013 and definitely 2014 will bring more investments into Bahrain. We are especially aware of the GCC “Marshall Plan” and the capital investments as well as stability. Political changes have been ongoing for ten years but it is moving along. I think all these elements will represent a solid basis to attract more investments. As I said, the first quarter of 2013 has been the best ever for BIO and according to the communications and progress and plan, we expect even better achievements and results in the rest of this year.”
