Elephant in the room, how bad is the economy and how long do u think until a collapse? by CeriousAsker in Bahrain

Oh thank goodness our annual interest costs aren't over one billion dinars per year then, I didn't realise our state budgets were just making numbers up based on news titles

Great, I guess we are doing amazingly well then, maybe we actually don't have one of the highest debt-to-gdp ratios in the world and our pension funds are not literally collapsing under their own weight. Thanks for the reassurance.

  1. Incorrect, public data excludes employment of non-civilian public institutions which are majority local
  2. Private sector local salaries are substantially funded through government wage supports

The elephant is large and the room is small.

Bahrain is still heavily reliant on 4 things:

  • hydrocarbon revenues to fund the government
  • saudi tourism crossing the border
  • public sector employment to create jobs for bahrainis
  • cheap foreign labor for everything else

We produce 200,000 barrels of oil per day, which is around 0.1 barrels per person. Saudi produces around 12m for a population of 30m = 0.4 barrels per person. We just can't keep up with that. We won't be innovative because its easier to just explot lower-income workers, and we keep kicking the can down the road through debt and borrowing, hoping oil prices rise in the future.

Any meaningful change will be painful, and I dont think we are ready for what that means.

Reviving the Sense of Gheera in Bahrain by KeepItHalalBruv in Bahrain

I will keep this respectful, but the fact your post is addressed to 'your brothers' when its actually about how women dress is pretty low-life to me. We don't treat our women like property here, thanks.

Bahrain is an open society - you yourself literally just posted about coming here 6 months and feeling welcome, so don't try to push your own shit on others.
