Description

The Kingdom of Bahrain is a key financial and trading hub in the Persian Gulf, with prevailing economic activity in oil, gas, financial services and manufacturing. It has a reasonably effective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework in place but continues to display vulnerabilities to key predicate offences including investment fraud, drug trafficking and human trafficking. In recent years, cybercrime has also risen in Bahrain, although the government is taking active steps to counter this threat.
