The outward foreign direct investments (FDI) from Qatar fell 29%; while those from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region grew 9% in 2012, according to fDi Report 2013.

“Qatar saw a decrease in outward FDI in 2012, with FDI projects overseas falling from 38 in 2011 to 27 in 2012,” said fDi Intelligence, a specialist division of the Financial Times.
