Bahrain's construction sector is being propelled by significant government initiatives aimed at investing in major construction projects.The economic development board is supporting various labor market reforms that could stimulate growth and enhance productivity and output in the construction sector. However, Bahrain's construction industry contracted in 2020 due to the dual impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and a decline in oil prices. Despite this, the expenses associated with initiating and operating construction projects in Bahrain are lower than in other GCC countries. Additionally, Bahrain's "free zone" policy allows for 100% foreign ownership of businesses and real estate, as well as the unrestricted flow of profits, capital, and dividends for investors.
