Economic growth in Qatar remains strong but will slow to 5.2 percent this year from 6.6 percent last year, the International Monetary Fund has said in a new report.
The IMF's executive board said the Gulf state would see "robust nonhydrocarbon growth" with inflation rising only gradually over the medium term.
It added that the main downside risks are lower hydrocarbon prices, tightening of external financing conditions, and potential disruption in transportation of LNG due to increased geopolitical tensions.
