Abstract:

There is no GDP data for H2 2016 yet, but there is evidence that non-oil activity remained resilient despite low oil prices. This mainly reflects a buoyant projects market, in contrast to the rest of the GCC, due to a surge in GCC funding. But we still expect non-oil growth to fall back a little further in 2017, to 2.3% from about 3% in 2016, with GDP growth seen slowing to 1.6% from an estimated 3% in 2016. This reflects a combination of increased fiscal austerity, tighter financial conditions and spillovers from the slowdown in Saudi Arabia.The pace of fiscal consolidation in Bahrain has been modest compared with its GCC peers, so as a result it will have the second-largest budget deficit in the GCC (after Oman) at some 14% of GDP in 2016. At the same time, lower oil exports will widen the current account deficit to a forecast 4.4% of GDP in 2016. With capital outflows rising and foreign reserves falling, the risk of further weakening of the external finances brought another credit rating downgrade from S&P in December to BB-, moving Bahrain further into 'junk' territory.
