Productivity is expected to decrease by 30% during the month of Ramadan in all sectors, including administrative, financial, and public services, except for those that require continuity of production and services, such as factories, Batelco, and Alba.
According to productivity expert Dr. Akbar Jafari, this directly affects the national economy and hinders businesses' and individuals' contributions to economic growth. Dr. Jafari explained that the reasons do not relate to fasting and lack of nutrition, but rather to behaviours and attitudes that people exhibit during the holy month.
Most tend to suffer from lack of sleep, which leads to fatigue and exhaustion, which affect the employee’s motivation, hence the low productivity. He said that there must be bodies dedicated to conducting a study on productivity during Ramadan and to what extent it damages the economy of the kingdom. Dr. Jafari stated that awareness has to be raised to change these patterns and obtain higher productivity.
