Abstract:

Qatar is in a stronger position to withstand the oil price plunge and global market turmoil than other GCC members, reflecting factors including the size of its policy buffers, its greater diversification and higher GDP per capita. Nevertheless, it has been affected by market tensions. The dollar peg has experienced modest pressure, with the 12-month forward rate rising to 450bps on four separate occasions in the last two months, while market interest rates have picked up slightly and local bank liquidity conditions have become more stretched. Overall however, given only modest fiscal austerity, strong population growth and the immovable infrastructure requirements associated with the 2022 World Cup, we see non-oil GDP growth holding up relatively well at some 7% in 2016 and 2017 compared to an estimated 8% in 2015. With hydrocarbon sector growth limited by capacity constraints, this will leave overall GDP growth at around 4.2% per year.
