Economic Policy & Debt · Bahrain
Yearly data from 2000 to 2024, from the World Bank.
Bahrain's gross fixed capital formation (constant LCU) was 4.46 billion in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 49.01% from 3 billion in 2014 (4.07% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 4.46 billion | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 3.7 billion | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 3 billion | 2014 |
| Highest | 4.46 billion | 2024 |
| Lowest | 827.06 million | 2001 |
| Average since 2015 | 3.63 billion | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 913.31 million | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 20.54% from 3.7 billion in 2019 (3.81% a year on average, compounded). Since 2000 it is up 388.81% from 913.31 million in 2000 (6.84% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Bahrain's gross fixed capital formation (constant LCU) rose 6.5% on 2023 (from 4.19 billion to 4.46 billion).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +8.2% and a typical year strayed about 16.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 37.7% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 29.4% in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 161.12 million a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 4.73 billion for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 177.31 million, against 795.39 million for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

In 2024, Bahrain had the 22nd highest value of the 31 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Gross fixed capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets during the accounting period, including certain specified expenditures on services that add to the value of non-produced assets. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
