The central bank governor of Bahrain’s, Rasheed al-Maraj, said he anticipates the kingdom’s economy to grow by 3 percent in 2009, reports Bloomberg.
“Even 3 percent is a decent number in terms of the global environment,” he said in an interview in Abu Dhabi today. The expected growth rate for 2009 is less than half 2008’s growth rate.
