Bahrain’s exchange‑rate index, measured as the percentage change in the real effective exchange rate relative to a base year, stands at 0.38 in 2025, placing the kingdom 203rd in the World Bank’s global ranking. Over the 60‑year series, the index fell from its all‑time peak of 0.48 in 1970 to a trough of 0.38 in 1998, after which it has remained near that low level for more than two decades. The recent figure mirrors the performance of Oman, which also records an index of 0.38, suggesting that Gulf Cooperation Council members share similar external‑sector dynamics driven by oil‑price volatility and modest diversification efforts. By contrast, Kuwait’s slightly lower index of 0.31 reflects a marginally stronger real appreciation, while Jordan’s 0.71 indicates a considerably weaker currency. Should Bahrain accelerate structural reforms, expand non‑oil exports and deepen financial market integration, the index could gradually rise, indicating a modest re‑valuation of the real exchange rate in the coming years.
