The Bahraini government is implementing a nationalization policy aimed at reducing reliance on foreign labor, leading to job reductions among expatriate workers.
The government of Bahrain has intensified its efforts to promote ‘Bahrainization,’ a policy designed to increase employment opportunities for Bahraini nationals by reducing foreign labor presence in the workforce. As reported by The Jerusalem Post, this initiative has resulted in job cuts affecting many foreign workers across various sectors. While the government aims to address national employment priorities, the changes have raised concerns among expatriates regarding job security and future prospects. Official statements confirm the commitment to this policy for economic and social goals, but detailed data on the affected demographics and sectors remain limited. No official reports specifically mention Indonesian migrant workers or any connection to Greece in this context.
