Qatar could issue $10bn worth bonds in 2018 - The Peninsula Qatar:

"An estimated $72bn of the net sovereign issuance is expected to come from the Middle East and Africa this year, of which $44bn should be primarily from four GCC countries- Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait. Qatar is expected to issue bonds/sukuks worth $10bn, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) said yesterday. BofML expects external debt supply of sovereign and corporate debt to increase slightly in aggregate in 2018. It forecasts overall sovereign gross debt issuance to decrease to $178bn, as sovereigns are turning more to local markets for funding."
