Bahrain’s financial sector is one of the most advanced in the region, making it a top choice for international financial institutions and companies seeking to operate in the Middle East. The country offers a tax-neutral environment for businesses, with no corporate income tax, no capital gains tax, and no withholding taxes on dividends or interest. The Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) and other free zones provide additional tax exemptions and benefits, making the country an attractive offshore financial centre. Bahrain’s strategic location in the Arabian Gulf makes it a key gateway for businesses looking to access the wider Middle Eastern market. As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Bahrain enjoys strong trade relationships with its neighbouring Gulf states, as well as preferential access to markets across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Bahrain’s close proximity to Saudi Arabia—the largest economy in the GCC—further enhances its appeal as a regional hub. The country’s modern infrastructure, including the Bahrain International Airport and Khalifa Bin Salman Port, supports its role as a logistics and trade centre for the region.
