1. THE ECONOMY OF QATAR (2006-2011) Whilemanyadvanced world economies were twirling under severe recession in the recent past, Qatar has taken head on, the global financial crisis, reflecting timely and focused policy response by the authorities. The substantial advancement of liquefied capacity, large government support to the banking system, and increase in public spending helped Qatar in sustaining high growth rates. Heavy investment in (LNG) production capacity and increases in LNG production over the last couple of years have been the main drivers of Qatar’s robust growth.

2. The year 2006, when the country hosted the showed significant double digit economic growth of 26% in real terms. Practically the entire Service sector was at its best. The winning of the world cup hosting bid for 2022 is a strategic event that would surely boost the Qatar’s economy and its standing in the world. Qatar is one of the few countries where the government is the main driver behind the economic growth. One can expect the repetition of the phenomenon, witnessed in the year of Asian Games, in the future as well, as Qatar draws closer to the FIFA event. Large scale investments in construction, transport, communication, hotel & restaurants, sports facilities and other services are expected to show positive results.

3. Qatar’s planned exploitation of its hydrocarbon reserves resulted in a nominal GDP with a compound annual growth rate of 27.5% during 2004 to 2011. As per the preliminary estimates of GDP, Qatar’s economy grew by 14.1% (real GDP growth) in 2011 and the nominal GDP reached to QR 631,609 million (US$ 173,281 million) representing anincrease of 36.3% in 2011 compared to 2010.

4. Expansion in the production levels of gas-related products, LNG and condensates, coupled with increases in hydrocarbon prices has been instrumental in pushing the nominal GDP of the country (36.3% rise). The oil and gas sector has contributed 51.7% and 58.3% of Qatar’s total nominal GDP in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

5. Besides the Oil and Gas sector, Qatar’s economic growth and significant investments have helped increasing economic returns from, , financial services, infrastructure development etc. As a result, nominal GDP for the non-oil and gas sector grew at a CAGR of 25.7% between 2004 and 2011. Nominal GDP for the non-oil and gas sector reached QR 267,151 million (US$ 73,292 million), or 42.3% of Qatar’s total nominal GDP, in 2011.

6. The Table-1 and Table-2 annexed at pages 24 and 25 provide the detailed information about Qatar’s nominal and Real GDP by economic activity for the period 2006- 2011, at current and constant prices respectively.

7. It may be noticed from the Tables 1 and 2 and Charts 1 and 2 below, that the relative contribution of the Non-Mining and Quarrying sector in total GDP, as compared to the Mining and Quarrying Sector has fluctuated in recent years largely due to increases in production of LNG and other gas related products. Rising prices of these products also had significant

Qatar Economic Statistics at a Glance Page 4 impact on these variations. Within the Non-Mining and Quarrying Sector, the finance, business services, insurance and real estate sectors made the largest contributions to total GDP. Details may be seen at Chart-3.

4. Price Index and the measurement of Inflation

Inflation is a persistent increase in prices, often triggered when demand for goods is greater than the available supply or when unemployment is low and workers can command higher salaries.The inflation rate is derived by calculating the rate of change in a price index. A price index, in turn, measures the level of prices of goods and services at any point of time.

2. Usually three kinds of price indices are periodically reported by government sources. The first index is called the consumer price index (CPI). This index measures the average retail prices paid by consumers for goods and services. As a result, the consumer price index reflects the changes in the cost of living of a typical household (consumer). The CPI is considered the most relevant inflation measure from the point of view of the consumers, as it measures the prices of goods and services that are part of their budgets. However, the consumer price index will not measure the changes in the cost of living of every consumer precisely due to the differences in consumption patterns.

3. A second price index used to measure the inflation rate is called the Producer Price index (PPI). It is a much broader measure than the consumer price index, in that it measures the wholesale prices a very large number of Products that are produced in the country. The items included in this index are those that are typically used by producers (manufacturers and businesses) and thus contain many raw materials and semi-finished goods. A change in the producer price index reflects a change in the cost of production, as encountered by producers. Since producers may pass on part or all of the increase in the cost of production to consumers, movements in producer price index indicate future movements in the consumer price index. The producer price index can thus forewarn consumers of coming increases in the cost of living.

4. The Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) or GDP deflator is the third measure of inflation. This index measures the prices of all goods and services included in the calculation of the current output of goods and services in the economy, known as gross domestic product (GDP). It is the broadest measure of the price level. The index of implicit price deflator is a measure of the overall or aggregate price level for the economy. Movement in the implicit GDP price deflator captures the inflationary tendency of the overall economy. The GDP deflator reflects movements of hundreds of separate deflators for the individual expenditure components of GDP.

Box 2:

Measurement in national accounts

In most systems of national accounts the GDP deflator or Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) measures the ratio of nominal (or current-price) GDP to the real (or chain volume) measure of GDP. The formula used to calculate the deflator is:

Dividing the nominal GDP by the GDP deflator and multiplying it by 100 would then give the figure for real GDP, hence deflating the nominal GDP into a real measure.

Price inflation as reflected by CPIs

5. QSA released the CPIs in 2006, based on a basket of1800 items of goods and services collected from 400 suppliers. The Base Period was 2002. Later, based on the Income and expenditure Survey 2006-2007, the base period was shifted to 2006. In June 2010, the base year has been changed to 2007. Since January 2009, QSA has been releasing Monthly CPI.

6. Qatar witnessed a price inflation (based on CPI) of 1.9% in 2011, which was preceded by negative inflation rates of 2.4% and 4.9% in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Prior to 2009, Qatar had high levels of inflation and the overall annual inflation rate was 15.2% in 2008 compared to 13.6% in 2007 and 11.8% in 2006. Inflation in Qatar started to rapidly decline in 2009 due to decreases in housing and food costs, with the inflation rate decreasing to negative 6.2% in the first quarter of 2009, negative 1.0% in the second quarter and negative 1.5% in the third and fourth quarters. The overall deflation recorded in 2009 and 2010 was due to the steep reduction in rents in the real estate sector. Inflation returned in 2011. Table 10: Consumer Price Index

8. The PPI was at highest level in 2011 as sharp increase was witnessed in oil and gas prices. PPI soared to an incredible level of 159.3 showing a jump of 34% when compared to 2010. The mining and quarrying sector, which represents over 77% weight in PPI, touched its zenith at 164.9 from a level of 109.7 in 2007. Chemicals (57.6%) and Jet Fuel (44.5%) even crossed many mining and quarrying products (38.4%).

9. The PPI was lowest in 2009 and the index was 99.9 due to lower crude and gas rates in the world markets. Practically all the major sectors showed major fall.

Qatar Economic Statistics at a Glance Page 21

5. Labour Force Survey, 2011

For the segments of the economy where adoption of ‘production approach’ is not feasible due to non-availability of requisite information on output and intermediate inputs, macro-economic aggregates are estimated by using the data on workforce, through the labour input method. In this method, estimates of value added for each individual economic activity or group of economic activities are compiled using the Labour Input as estimates of workforce and Productivity of Labour as estimates of ‘value added per worker’. Such synthetic estimates are generally required for unorganized segment of manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, hotels and restaurants, transport, storage, business services, legal services, sanitary services, research and scientific services, religious and other community services, personal services, etc. The two main data sources on workers and their distribution over economic activities in Qatar are the decennial Population Census (PC) and the Labour Force Surveys.

2. Due to key role of labour market statistics in socio-economic planning and a prime source of labour inputs in National Accounts, QSA conducted a labour force samplesurvey in the State of Qatar.
