  • COVID-19 & the Qatar Housing Market
    & The Qatar Housing Market 1st Quarter | 2020 Considerations for the residential sector amid COVID-19 outbreak www.valustrat.com Remarks from Mr. Pawel Banach General Manager ValuStrat Qatar We recognize that these are uncertain and unprecedented times for you and your families, friends, colleagues, businesses and investments. All of us are facing unique challenges and threats in this environment-some of you quite acutely. The current pandemic has also adversely affected the real estate market, as we keenly await some level of stability to return, regressing fundamentals continue to dampen property market prospects. Of course, this crisis extends far beyond real estate market, it has devastating effects for society as a whole. But the fact remains that property-like most sectors-will be affected directly or indirectly. At the time of this publication, it is too soon to predict the extent to which the market will react, given we don’t know how long the crisis will sustain in Qatar or abroad. It is important to remember that there has been some positive signs. ValuStrat analysis of Chinese property market-the first country to be affected by COVID-19-shows that after an initial hard shock, it has bounced back relatively rapidly. In addition, analysis of previous SARS pandemic of early 2000s indicate similar trajectory, where there is cautious optimism that a strong public response to slow the spread of the virus and provision of financial support to affected households and businesses can counter the projected economic fallout to a certain degree. Even during less difficult times our firm specialised in helping clients navigate change and uncertainty.
