Qatar's population as of June 30 this year reached 2.34 million (2,344,557), witnessing nine percent rise compared to June last year according to the latest data released by the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics.

The population only reached 2.15 million (2,151,745) the same time last year. However, the month-on-month population figures in June witnessed a marginal decline of 1.28 percent compared to previous May (2,374,860) this year. This is understandably due to summer vacations when a lot of Qataris and expatriates travel outside the country.

These data represents the number of persons all ages (Qataris and Non-Qataris) within the boundaries of the State of Qatar as on June 30, 2015. It does not include Qataris and Non-Qataris (with residency permits) who were outside the state's boundaries on the given date.

The Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics bulletin is released on a monthly basis to identify the developments and changes that occur in the social and economic aspects in Qatar.

Visitors to Qatar increased by 7.3 percent in June 2015 versus the same of period of 2014. Visitors from GCC countries made up the highest proportion (40.7 percent) of total visitors.

The bulletin also highlights that the vehicles registered in June reached 9,933 compared to 9,853 in last May, with a negative month-on-month change amounting to 0.8 percent compared to last May.

Traffic violations accounted for 126,503 in June 2015, with a negative month-on-month change amounting to 12.9 percent compared to last May. [The Peninsula]
