Doha, Qatar - The National Planning Council (NPC) has reported a 17.64 percent increase in the Export Unit Value Index (EXUVI) for the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Despite regional economic and geopolitical challenges, the Qatari economy has demonstrated resilience, according to the NPC. The index, which measures the unit values of exported goods, is a critical indicator for assessing foreign trade dynamics and economic activity in Qatar, as outlined in the NPC's press release.
The main drivers behind the 17.64 percent rise in the EXUVI were gains in six key groups: Chemicals and Related Products (up 35.94 percent), Mineral Fuels, Lubricants and Related Materials (up 16.14 percent), Manufactured Goods Classified Chiefly by Material (up 14.46 percent), Crude Materials, Inedible, Except Fuels (up 7.38 percent), Food and Live Animals (up 5.26 percent), and Commodities and Transactions Not Classified Elsewhere in SITC (up 0.56 percent).
These changes reflect the diverse factors influencing the Qatari economy, as outlined in the NPC's detailed assessment.
