A recent reprt predicts Qatar per capita income will rise from USD 54,052 in 2005 to USD 65,028 this year, and is set to continue rising throughout to 2010.
Qatar's per capita GDP level is significantly higher than the average USD 25,440 per capita income across the GCC this year. A key risk is however being
posed by inflation, which is higher than the regional average, according
to official statistics. Real estate rental price inflation is the
central driver of price increases again this year, which according to the
Qatar Central Bank rose a substantial 36% in 2005.
