An insight into the country

When you’re looking at a new market, clarity matters. The Bahrain Country Risk Briefing delivers a sharp, fact-driven analysis of the Kingdom’s evolving risk profile, helping you see both the opportunities and the vulnerabilities.

Written by financial crime experts, the briefing cuts through the noise so you can focus on the issues that truly affect investment, compliance, and market entry. Whether you’re weighing a new investment, expanding operations, or reviewing your exposure, this briefing ensures you’re never making decisions in the dark.

Drawing on trusted international indices, FATF assessments, and proprietary Themis research, it shows you where Bahrain is making progress, where risks remain, and what that means for you.

See risk at a glance

Instead of wading through pages of technical language, you get a traffic-light system that shows each risk area at a glance.

• Low Risk (Green): Terrorist Financing, Sanctions Evasion, Environmental Crime
• Medium Risk (Amber): Money Laundering, Cybercrime, Fraud, Bribery & Corruption, Tax Crime
• Medium–High Risk (Amber/Red): Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking, Drug & Weapons Trafficking
• High–Medium Risk (Red): Financial Secrecy
  

It’s an instant visual guide. Within seconds you can see where Bahrain sits today — and how it compares to other jurisdictions you may be considering.
