Economy
Local tourism (largely from Saudi Arabia) accounts for a robust service industry, and international tourists have been won back through the inauguration of the Grand Prix in April 2004 and high-profile spending in tourist infrastructure, particularly at complexes such as Al-Areen and Durrat al-Bahrain.
In September 2004, Bahrain signed a Free Trade Pact with the USA but continues to discuss regional economic integration and a proposed single currency.
