Qatar's gross domestic product experienced a modest increase of 2.9% in 2025, as reported in the 2025 Macroeconomic Report by the Qatar Central Bank. The country's total GDP reached QAR 736.6 billion, or roughly USD 202 billion. Oil sector contributed 34.7% to the total GDP, while the non-oil sector accounted for 65.3%. The non-oil sector was the primary force behind Qatar's economic growth, expanding by 4.8% in 2025 compared to the previous year, while the oil and petroleum products sector saw a slight contraction of 0.5%.
The monetary authority attributed the sustained growth to the resilient non-oil sector, which signifies Qatar's ongoing progress in economic diversification. Private sector expansion, tourism, and key growth sectors such as construction, trade, finance, insurance, manufacturing, and transport and logistics also contributed to the growth.
Despite rising instability in the Middle East, the Qatar Central Bank anticipates a 6.1% GDP growth in 2026, driven by increased gas production capacity, surplus in external accounts, and continued economic diversification efforts.
