Macro Poverty Outlook for Qatar (Arabic)

Growth is estimated to have recovered to 2.1 percent in 2018, as activity has gradually recovered from the effects of a diplomatic rift between Qatar and some GCC neighbors. The economy is expected to expand by 3 percent over the medium term, helped by continued investments related to hosting the football world cup, and as a large natural gas facility comes onstream. Downside risks stem from volatility in energy prices and continued diplomatic tensions with Gulf neighbors. The diversification of the economy away from hydrocarbons remains a key challenge.
