Bahrain is a small island nation in the Persian Gulf with a relatively diversified economy compared to its GCC neighbors, with significant activity in financial services, aluminum production, and petroleum refining. It has a bilateral Free Trade Agreement with the United States in force since 2006 and applies the GCC Common External Tariff of 5% on most imports. Bahrain's strategic location and well-developed logistics infrastructure make it a regional hub for financial services and light manufacturing.
