  • IV. TRADE POLICIES by SECTOR (1) 1. the Contribution to Qatar's
    WT/TPR/S/144 Trade Policy Review Page 38 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) OVERVIEW 1. The contribution to Qatar's economy of mining and quarrying, basically petroleum and natural gas, and of gas-intensive industries (e.g. petrochemicals and fertilizers), has increased over the years, while the shares of agriculture and services has fallen. In accordance with Qatar's long-term development strategy, this trend will be strengthened as Qatar aims to, inter alia, become a dominant force in world gas markets through its role as the leading producer and exporter of both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas-to-liquids (GTL). Nevertheless, some services subsectors, notably tourism, are being promoted to reduce the country's dependence on crude oil. 2. Despite its very small and decreasing share of total GDP (0.3% in 2003), agriculture is an important sector in the economy because of Qatar's food security objective. Qatar is a net importer of agricultural products, and food security is promoted mainly through relatively low customs tariffs. The simple average applied MFN tariff on agricultural products (major division 1 of ISIC, Revision 2) is 3.3%. The Government assists agricultural producers by offering basic infrastructure (e.g. drainage and irrigation facilities), and free provision of inputs, such as pesticides, natural fertilizers, veterinary services, and vegetable seeds. 3. A major state-owned company, Qatar Petroleum (QP), is the exclusive agent for oil and natural gas activities, either directly or in cooperation with foreign enterprises through production- sharing or development and fiscal agreements. Qatar is pursuing an intensive exploration drive to enlarge its hydrocarbons reserve base, so as to expand the lifetime of its reserves, and broaden its production capacity.

See Ratings Detail for a complete list of rated entities and ratings covered by this report. Rationale Business Risk Profile: Strong • Qatar Insurance Co. S.A.Q. (QIC) is a very well-established Qatari insurance group with a strong shared brand in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It has grown rapidly in recent years outside its core territories, notably in the U.K. motor market in 2015. • Outside the motor business, QIC has a diverse product offering (re)insurance services in all sectors in its local markets, and a track record of strong earnings from its mature GCC operations. • Its intermediate industry and country risk primarily reflects that of its material premium contribution from global property/casualty (P/C) reinsurance, U.K. motor business as well as its Qatari and GCC direct operations. Financial Risk Profile: Strong • Risk-based capital will be very strong through the next two years of continued development, boosted by retained profits sufficient to support further organic premium growth.
