巴林,在阿拉伯语中意为“两股水源,两个海”。其商业历史可追溯到4000年前,最初是两河流域的世界贸易中心。这一位于波斯湾西南部的西亚国家,邻近卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯之间,属热带沙漠气候,石油为是其经济支柱。巴林是海湾地区第一个发现石油的国家,随后成为第一个实现经济多样化,摆脱经济依赖于石油状态的国家。同时,巴林还是中东地区第一个成立金融服务业的国家。在之后的40年里,其经济得到迅速发展并持续至今。 Bahrain, in Arabic means “two sources of water, two seas.” Its business history dates back 4000 years, initially as a World Trade Center for the two rivers. This West Asian country located in the southwestern Gulf of Persia, close to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, has a tropical desert climate and oil is the economic pillar. Bahrain was the first country in the Gulf to discover oil and subsequently became the first country to diversify its economy and get out of the oil-dependent economy. At the same time, Bahrain is also the first country in the Middle East to establish a financial services industry. For the next 40 years, its economy has been rapidly developed and continues to this day.
