Qatar Banking Sector

Executive Summary

What is this report about?
E conomic growth in Qatar is underpinned by large-scale government expenditures in various infrastructural projects envisioned as part of Qatar National Vision 2030 document. Hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2022 has only accelerated the process. Private sector credit growth has grown in line with the on-going diversification of the economy.
