Abstract
Bahrain was one of the GCC countries most affected by the pan-Arab 2011 events and witnessed civil and political unrest which impacted the country’s overall investment climate. Bahrain is also one of the most diversified economies of the GCC, with its highly developed communication and transport facilities as well as an educated workforce, making the country an attractive hub to multinational and GCC companies that wish to do business elsewhere in the Gulf, especially in neighboring Saudi Arabia with whom Bahrain is linked by a causeway.
One hand cannot clap.
