Dynamic business centre

Qatar is one of the fastest-growing business centres in the world. With a population of 1.8 million people, of which 87% are expatriates, it is a global leader in liquefied ​natural gas exports, with 77 million tons of LNG output per year. It has the third largest proven gas reserves in the world, which represents 14% of the world’s total, and large oil reserves of 25.4 billion barrels.


Natural gas

The strong growth in hydrocarbon production is driven by high crude and gas prices. Qatar also benefits from continually increasing and diversifying energy exports. The demand for natural gas is expected to quadruple between now and 2020 to boost the overall economy.


Qatar Investment Authority

Qatar also received high government spending on development programmes in education, health, infrastructure and real estate. The Qatar Investment Authority is now a major sovereign investor on the world market. Qatar also seeks to stimulate the private sector and develop a knowledge-based economy. 


Other growth

The State of Qatar encourages private sector growth and the non-hydrocarbon economy through privatisation, outsourcing of public services and development of industrial zones. Qatar is also experiencing growth in the service, utilities, manufacturing and industrial sectors.

This combination of elements means that doing business in Qatar is a stepping-stone for your business to enjoy a prosperous future.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
