We aspire to shift from an economy built on oil wealth to a productive, globally competitive
economy, shaped by the government and driven by a pioneering private sector – an economy
that raises a broad middle class of Bahrainis who enjoy good living standards through increased
productivity and high-wage jobs.
Our society and government will embrace the principles of sustainability, competitiveness and
fairness to ensure that every Bahraini has the means to live a secure and fulfilling life and reach
their full potential.
