Qatar Petroleum, the Persian Gulf country’s state-run energy company, based its budget for this year on an oil price of $65 a barrel, according to Finance Minister Yousef Kamal.
The cabinet hasn’t yet decided on an oil price for the 2012-2013 fiscal year budget, which is to be released by June, Kamal said at a conference in Doha, the nation’s capital.
Oil and gas exports account for about half of Qatar’s gross domestic product, according to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook. The country, the biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas, was the world’s fastest-growing economy for the past two years, International Monetary Fund data showed.
