Qatar has secured the fourth position in the world for living standards in the 2026 Legatum Prosperity Index, surpassing all countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The nation also claimed the eighth spot globally in the index's development measure, a composite that includes standard of living, health, and education, which evaluates the effectiveness of a state in providing essential services crucial for daily life.
The combination of these rankings highlights the continuous improvement in the overall quality of life for citizens and residents, as well as the substantial infrastructure developed to deliver health, education, and social services. These results follow the introduction of the Third National Development Strategy, the key instrument for realizing Qatar National Vision 2030, which emphasizes social and human development as the foundation for the country's sustainable future.
Qatar's performance in this year's index serves as proof that the integrated development policies implemented are yielding positive results.
