IMF expects growth in Qatar to slow to its normal rates after the World Cup

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday that it expects economic growth to slow in the near term to its normal rates following the hosting of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

It added, "Medium-term prospects appear more positive, with average growth expected to rise to around 4.5 percent driven by significant expansion in liquefied natural gas production... Qatar continues to demonstrate significant resilience in the face of global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions."
