Early stages of the Bahrain US free trade negotiations go back to the year 1999, with the signing of the Bilateral Investment Treaty BIT , which entered into force May 30, 2001. It is the first such treaty signed between the United States and a member of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf GCC and is aimed at stimulating the flow of private investment between the two countries. Both parties agreed that a stable framework for investment would maximize effective utilization of economic resources and improve living standards. One year later, the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement TIFA was signed on June 18, 2002, representing the prelude for the FTA negotiations. The TIFA was designed as a forum for an ongoing bilateral dialogue on economic reform and trade liberalization.
