Qatar's $225 Billion Bonanza Over Next Five Years (source: AlifArabia, extract from 29 March 2011 article)
- During 2005-2009, average spending on infrastructure for a sample of 69 countries was approximately 4.2% of GDP; it was 10% for Qatar. In U.S. dollar terms, infrastructure spending in Qatar increased 57.8% a year. Qatar's spending on infrastructure in recent years has also outpaced that of other countries (such as China and India) experiencing accelerated growth.
- Total real gross domestic investment might reach almost QR820 billion ($225-billion), with perhaps half that coming from the non-hydrocarbon sector. Central government investment is estimated at QR347 billion ($95 billion).
- The exceptionally high saving rate -- total national saving averaged approximately 60% of GDP during 2002-2009 -- has underwritten investments in physical and financial assets. Investments in domestic capital projects have been significant, with gross investment consistently running just over 30% of GDP.

" This achievement is a big one for all Arab countries and I hope that Qatar will successfully stage this tournament. We can promise that the infrastructure will be in place and that all Arabs will support our efforts. It was a difficult moment for us because the team headed by Sheikh Mohammad had a big hill to climb and it would have been difficult if we lost. But even if that happened, we wouldn't have given up and we would have doubled our efforts. A lot of people think that we are a small country, but we can accomplish great things. "
HH Sheikha Mozah bin Nasser Al Misnad
I was hoping to win not only for Qatar but for the whole region and the bid team as well. I saw in the last few days how they worked day and night and they deserved to win. I'm extremely happy because this win is not only for Qatar but for the whole region. The joy has overwhelmed everyone. What happened today showed to the youth of Qatar that anything is possible.
