Insurance coverage for expatriates working in Bahrain’s private sector has reached 473,323 by the end of the third quarter of 2025, according to figures provided by the Social Insurance Organisation in a response sent to MP Jalal Kadhem.

The data also shows that the number of insured Bahraini nationals across both the public and private sectors increased steadily over the same period, rising from 151,659 in 2023 to 154,894 in 2024, and reaching 157,213 by Q3 2025.

Over the same timeframe, the number of non-Bahrainis covered in the private sector grew from 458,768 in 2023 to 467,267 in 2024, before reaching 473,323 in 2025.

The organisation noted that expatriates working in the public sector are covered only for work injury insurance, with no separate headcount provided. Combined insurance contributions from both sectors stood at BD418.657 million in 2023 and rose to BD437.448 million in 2024, based on consolidated financial reporting after the merger of the two funds under Decree-Law No. 21 of 2020.

The number of living retirees receiving pensions also increased, from 84,612 in 2023 to 85,607 in 2024 and 86,003 by the end of Q3 2025.
