Despite the repercussions of the Corona (Covid-19) crisis, which continued to threaten the economies of the world during the year 2021, the Qatari economy recorded a remarkable positive performance at various levels, thanks to rational policies and a flexible economic approach to managing the crisis, and well projected plans that enhanced Qatar's ability to speed up Recovering and adapting to changes, ensuring business continuity and completing vital projects in the infrastructure sector and other sectors.
It was not surprising that the State of Qatar ranked first in the Gulf region in the economic recovery index from the Corona (Covid-19) pandemic, scoring four points, according to the index prepared by the global economic magazine "MEED" and published last August, where the index confirmed that Doha is the holder of the highest A degree in the economic recovery index from the repercussions of the pandemic, as its revenues depend mainly on natural gas, not oil, making its financial position more robust.
This economic and financial performance was reflected in the reports of credit rating institutions, as the country maintained its high rank in credit ratings and a stable future outlook for its economy, based on its financial position, which provided it with protection from potential risks, as well as the continuous development of the energy sector.
In its latest reports, the World Bank also expected that the Qatari economy would grow by 3 percent in 2021, and accelerate its pace by about 4.1 percent in 2022 and 4.5 percent in 2023, after absorbing the shocks caused by the epidemic and returning again to the growth path.
