    (MENAFN) Qatar's real GDP is projected to increase to 2.6 percent this year and 3.6 percent in the coming year before slowing to 2.7 percent in 2019 driven by the non-hydrocarbon sector as higher oil prices ease liquidity.

    On the other hand, inflation is projected to slow to 0.9 percent this year on falling rents, before jumping to 3.3 percent in 2018 with the introduction of VAT before easing to 2.5 percent in 2019.
