Bahrain’s economy strengthened at the end of 2025, with year-over-year GDP growth rising to 4.60% in the fourth quarter, up from 4.00% in the third quarter of 2025. The latest figures, updated on 14 April 2026, indicate an acceleration in economic activity as the year drew to a close.
The data are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the current reading reflects the change in GDP in the fourth quarter of 2025 relative to the same period a year earlier. Similarly, the previous figure measures the third quarter of 2025 against the third quarter of 2024. The pickup from 4.00% to 4.60% suggests improving momentum in Bahrain’s growth trajectory heading into 2026.
