Al-Sada: Oil & Gas industry is foundation and primary pillar
of Qatar’s development – HE the Minister of Energy & Industry
Dr. Mohamed bin Saleh al-Sada said Qatar‟s oil & gas industry
is the foundation and primary pillar of its economic and social
development. He further added that the country‟s manpower and
human resources are day by day, reinforcing their position as
the driving force behind this development. He also stated that
Qatar‟s heightened global reputation has presented a wealth of
opportunities to look beyond the country‟s borders for
relationships and investments that will better not only the energy
industry, but also the country as a whole. (Gulf-Times.com)
Dubai’s Expo 2020 bid win to aggravate Qatar’s project cost
inflation – Qatar said its project cost inflation, which is likely to
harden due to major infrastructure upgrade, could further
aggravate with Dubai winning the bid to host Expo 2020. Qatar‟s
Ministry of Development Planning & Statistics (MDPS) said in its
report that the substantial demands placed on materials to
support Qatar‟s major infrastructure program are expected to
generate inflation in construction costs that could affect the
overall costs of project delivery. Although these rising
construction and project costs pose some concern, the ministry
said they are quite distinct from consumer price pressures and
inflation. But project cost inflation could also be aggravated as
Dubai ramps up activities to deliver Expo 2020. The report
further added that the 2014-16 period showed peak demand for
primary building materials and it comprised more than half of the
total demand of materials declared for the entire period covered
(2012-22). The report revealed that risks to the outlook include
the possibility of significantly weaker oil prices reflecting
weakening growth in emerging markets, and escalating
domestic project costs that could cut into the fiscal surplus.
While an overall fiscal surplus again seems assured in 2013, it is
poised to narrow in 2014, the report cautioned, estimating fiscal
surplus to be 6.1% of nominal GDP in 2013 and 3.8% in 2014.
