DOHA: The Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics (MDP&S) in collaboration with the Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Switzerland will conduct the “Executive Opinion Survey” in February & March 2018. 

The survey will provide qualitative analysis about economic policy, regulations and various aspects of the business environment, which influence the nation’s competitiveness ranking. The 2018 IMD World Competitiveness Report, scheduled to be released in June, will measure strengths and weaknesses in Qatar’s economic environment and compare them with other nations. 

Minister of MDP&S H E Dr Saleh Al Nabit said, “the report will help identify areas where competitiveness could be improved. It will provide information for prospective investors and general public.” Qatar had ranked 17th (out of 63 countries) in the 2017 Competitiveness Yearbook. The high ranking stems from strong macroeconomic performance coupled with ongoing reforms.
