Bahrain’s economy expanded by 2.5% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025 at constant prices, supported by a 3.5% rise in non-oil activity, preliminary government data showed on Tuesday.

The kingdom's Information & eGovernment Authority said the GDP grew by 2.3% at current prices during the same period.

Non-oil GDP rose by 5.3% at current prices, reflecting ongoing efforts to diversify the economy away from hydrocarbons, the authority said.

Oil GDP, however, declined by 2.6% at constant prices and slumped 14.2% at current prices, weighed down by weaker global oil prices and reduced production volumes.

Among the fastest-growing sectors at constant prices were professional, scientific and technical activities, which rose 12%, followed by wholesale and retail trade (+6.7%) and real estate activities (+4.7%).

At current prices, professional, scientific and technical activities also led gains with a 12.7% increase, while information and communication grew by 10.9% and accommodation and food services by 10.4%.
