Doha, Qatar saw a significant 17.64% increase in the Export Unit Value Index (EXUVI) for the second quarter of 2026, according to the National Planning Council (NPC). This marked an 6.45% rise from the same period in 2025. The national body attributed this growth to higher unit values of exported goods, despite ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges.
The index is divided into eight main groups, with the "Mineral Fuels, Lubricants and Related Materials" group contributing the most at 88.77%, followed by "Chemicals and Related Products" at 8.04%. These three categories make up nearly 99.5% of the total EXUVI weight.
The boost in EXUVI was driven by notable gains across several groups, led by Chemicals and Related Products, which surged by 34.73%. Other key contributors included Mineral Fuels, Lubricants and Related Materials (+4.25%), Manufactured Goods Classified Chiefly by Material (+3.31%), Crude Materials, Inedible, Except Fuels (+3.14%), and Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles (+1.92%).
Only the "Commodities and Transactions Not Classified Elsewhere in SITC" group saw a slight decline of 1.00%, while the "Animal and Vegetable Oils, Fats and Waxes" group remained unchanged.
