BH — Bahrain

Bahrain is a small island kingdom in the Persian Gulf, connected to Saudi Arabia by the King Fahd Causeway. Manama, the capital, is a major financial center in the Middle East. Bahrain was one of the first Gulf states to discover oil and has diversified into banking, tourism, and fintech. The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) is one of the world's highest-valued currencies and is subdivided into 1,000 fils — three decimal places rather than the standard two. For developers, the BH country code maps to the ar-BH locale for Bahraini Arabic with RTL support. The .bh domain and +973 calling code serve Bahrain. The BHD's three-decimal subdivision is an important edge case for currency formatting — amounts like BHD 1.500 represent one and a half dinars. Bahrain is a fintech hub in the Gulf region, with regulatory sandboxes and a Central Bank Digital Currency initiative. Bahrain's small size but significant financial sector makes proper BHD handling critical for Gulf-region financial applications.
