World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

The Kingdom of Bahrain plays an enhanced role in international and regional partnerships for sustainable development, including peace and security initiatives, and to expand South-South Cooperation (UNSDCF Outcome 4)
Bahrain advanced its capacity to play an enhanced role in international partnerships for Agenda 2030 implementation through the preparation undertaken for the third round of the Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al-Khalifa Global Award for Women's Empowerment, which celebrates the achievements of diverse stakeholder groups to advance gender equality and women's empowerment. As highlighted during the June 2023 Derasat Annual Forum, co-led by the Supreme Council for Women, Bahrain is able to leverage the Global Award to underscore and celebrate the diversity of contributions to Agenda 2030, focused on the private sector, public sector, non-government sector and individual champions. Bahrain also demonstrated its leadership on implementation of SDG 5 and CEDAW through its swift follow-up to the CEDAW Committee report of January 2023, through repeal of Article 353 of the penal code that had provided that suspects could avoid a rape charge by marrying the survivor.Disclaimer and notes
