The Index Today
Sunday data shows that Qatar's economy grew by 4% year-on-year in the second quarter, according to official preliminary estimates, boosted mainly by the non-hydrocarbon sector.
The Gulf state's statistics authority said on Sunday that on a quarterly basis, however, gross domestic product (GDP) based on constant prices decreased at 0.3%.
Mining and quarrying GDP expanded 0.7% year-on-year in the second quarter, while non-mining and quarrying activities posted a 6.2% growth.
Accommodation and food service activities saw the biggest annual jump, growing 41%, reflecting the low base last year because of coronavirus-related restrictions.
Transportation and storage activities followed, with a 26.9% growth, while manufacturing grew 13.4%.
Qatar, a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer, posted a surplus of about $1 billion in the second quarter, the finance ministry said in August, citing higher than budgeted oil prices.
