Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2020, Bahrain's adjusted savings, energy depletion (% of GNI) fell 2.6 percentage points on 2019 (from 13.83% to 11.24%).

What this measures

Energy depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of energy resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers coal, crude oil, and natural gas. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
