Introduction to collecting debt in Bahrain

If you have trouble getting money that people owe you in Bahrain, don't worry. We can help you get paid by your Bahraini customers. The person who owes the money is called the debtor, and the person who the money is owed to is called the creditor. If the original creditor collects the debt themselves, this is called first-party collection. If the creditor gets someone else to help collect the debt, this is called third-party collections.

The debt collection process in Bahrain

The debt collection process in Bahrain usually happens in more than one step.

The image below explains our standard process for collecting debt in Bahrain.

1 Upload your claim:

If you want someone else to help you get your money back, you will need to find a debt collection partner and upload your claim to their website. If you use Debitura, we will provide you with 3 quotes from local partners in the Asia country relevant to your case. This is 100% free - no strings attached.

2 Amicable collection:

The collection process begins by sending reminders to the person who owes you money. The reminders are sent through email, SMS, letter, and any other available communication channels in the specific country. The goal is to get the debtor to pay or acknowledge the debt and start a payment plan. Debitura offers a no-cure-no-pay solution for amicable collection, which means you only pay a small success fee if we recover your debt. Therefore, amicable collections with Debitura are 100% risk-free!

3 Evaluation:

If you have not received payment from the debtor after the amicable phase, it is time to decide what to do next. We will look at how much you are owed, the chance of getting paid and other factors to help you decide what to do. There are three typical next steps:

A: Surveillance:

If your claim is less than 2,000-5,000 euros, it is often not worth it to take more legal action. In this case, we recommend "debt surveillance," where we will keep trying to contact your debtor and try to agree on a settlement.

B: Legal collections:

It's a good idea to go through some legal steps if you have a big issue that needs to be resolved. The steps you need to take will depend on what kind of issue it is and how big it is. Usually, it takes about a year and a half for the whole process to be completed.

C: Debt enforcement:

If the person you are owed money from has said that they owe you money, or if there is a court order, you can go to the bailiff's court to get your money.

At Debitura, we can help you with all three steps in Bahrain.

The economic risk in Bahrain

Economic risk in Bahrain is high (5 out of 6). An economic risk of 5 out of 6 is relatively high in Asia.

GDP and economic growth are critical drivers for economic risk.
The GDP of Bahrain is 38,87 bn. USD (2021), growing by 2,23% per year.

In terms of the size of its economy, Bahrain ranks #91 out of 183 countries and has a medium-sized economy.

In terms of growth rate, it is ranked #140 out of 183 countries and is therefore considered a slow-growing economy.

GDP per capita is 22232 USD, ranking Bahrain number #40 out of 183 countries. This means the purchasing power of citizens in Bahrain is high compared to the rest of the world.

You can see a more detailed picture of GDP and economic growth in Bahrain in the table below:

GDP and economic growthLatest value
Economic growth: the rate of change of real GDP2,23%
Gross Domestic Product, billions of U.S. dollars38,87
GDP per capita, current U.S. dollars22232,33
GDP per capita, Purchasing Power Parity41335,63

Another critical driver for the economic risk score is the inflation rate and the interest rates. You can see a more detailed picture of monetary KPIs in Bahrain in the table below:

Monetary KPI'sLatest value
Inflation: percent change in the Consumer Price Index-0,6%

The inflation in Bahrain was -0,6% in 2021 which is considered a very low inflation rate.

The business environment risk in Bahrain

Our analysis shows that the business environment risk in Bahrain is medium (3 out of 6), which is a relatively low risk score in Asia.

Economic freedom and rights determine the business environment risk in a country. The critical facts for Bahrain in the table below:

Economic freedom indexLatest value
Property rights index (0-100)72
Freedom from corruption index (0-100)64
Fiscal freedom index (0-100)100
Business freedom index (0-100)77
Monetary freedom index (0-100)82,8
Trade freedom index (0-100)84
Investment freedom index (0-100)75
Financial freedom index (0-100)80
Economic freedom, overall index (0-100)70

As you can see in the table, the property rights index is 72 in Bahrain, which is considered pretty average in Asia.

The business freedom index is based on 10 indicators, using data from the World Bank’s Doing Business study. The Index is 77 in Bahrain, a pretty good score for a country in Asia.

Bahrain's overall economic freedom index is 70 out of 100 and is based on factors such as the rule of law, regulatory efficiency, and market openness.

The political risk in Bahrain

The political risk in Bahrain is medium-high, with a score of 4/6. This is a pretty average political risk score in Asia.

The governance and political stability indicators are critical drivers for political risk. An overview of Bahrain can be seen in the graphs below:

Governance and political stability indicators Latest value
Rule of law index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,47
Government effectiveness index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,72
Control of corruption (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)0,17
Political stability index (-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong)-0,51
Corruption Perceptions Index, 100 = no corruption42
Shadow economy, percent of GDP16,63%

The rule of law index analyses to which extent agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in particular the quality of contract enforcement, property rights, the quality of the courts, and the police's ability to enforce court orders.

When transacting business in a country, the rule of law index is critical as it describes your ability to enforce commercial contracts.

In Bahrain, the rule of law index is at 0,47 points, with the score going from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong). Bahrain has, therefore, a high rule of law index, which means you should have a good chance of enforcing your contracts. If your individual customers have good creditworthiness, you should therefore feel relatively safe when providing credit.

Other drivers for the medium-high political risks are the weak control of corruption, the very weak political stability index, and the normal shadow economy that is 16,63% of Bahrain's GDP.

The commercial risk in Bahrain

In Bahrain, the commercial risk score is 3/4, which in our model is a medium score. This medium commercial risk score is relatively high compared to the average in Asia.

The commercial risk is influenced by a country's international trade relationships. You can see some of the key facts for Bahrain in the table below:

International trade and investment Latest value
Foreign exchange reserves, billion currency units4.99

Bahrain has a total of foreign exchange reserves of 4.99 bn. USD.

The financing risk in Bahrain

We have calculated the financing risk to be 3/4, which equals a medium risk. A medium financing risk score is pretty average for countries in Asia.

The country's banking system, efficiency, and stability influence the financing risk. You can find the critical facts for Bahrain in the table below:

Banking system efficiency and stabilityLatest value
Index of legal rights for creditors and borrowers (0 = weak to 12 = strong)3
Credit information sharing index, 0 (low) - 8 (high)8

In Bahrain, the credit information sharing index is 8 on a scale from 0 (low) to 8 (high). The consequence of that number, is that the access and quality of credit information available in Bahrain is high.

This makes it easy for you to understand the credit risk of your counterpart in Bahrain. Based on this, it should be possible to to find a good local credit rating agency that can help you analyse the creditworthiness of your specific customers.

Your legal rights as a creditor (and as a borrower) are 3 out of 12 and, therefore, very weak.

Debt collection in Bahrain: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does debt collection work in Bahrain?

Debt collection in Bahrain typically involves multiple steps, including sending reminders to the debtor and evaluating the chances of recovering the debt.
