Qatar capital inflows rebound in 2018: IIF - The Peninsula Qatar:
A strong rebound in capital inflows to Qatar was the key driver to the overall rise in the non-resident capital flows to a ‘group of 26 countries’ in 2018, estimated at $145bn, up from about $125bn in 2017.
This amounts to over 5 percent of the Frontier Market (FM) GDP—higher than the 3-4 percent we see for larger Emerging Markets…The upturn is due mainly to a strong rebound in flows to Qatar, from outflows of $23bn in 2017 to some $20bn this year, Institute of International Finance (IIF) noted.
IIF’s Frontier Market includes 26 countries, covering five in the Middle East region.Excluding Qatar, non-resident capital flows to these 26-group countries are projected to decline by nearly 20 percent to some $120bn in 2018.
