the inflation in Qatar

By adventure

Hello every one, I want to discuss with you about what's going on in Qatar this days which is inflation, I know that it is not only in Qatar, but also everywhere in the world. Anyway, I want to you share with me:
1)What are the main reasons of inflation particularly in Qatar? do you think the high levels of government spending, growing demand for housing,and the riyal's peg with the dollar are reasons? if so, just explain how, pleas?

2)Then what are affects of this phenomenon?
3)Finally, how can we reduce the consequences of inflation in Qatar? I believe that there are some ways that we can reduce influence of inflation in Qatar. One of these solutions is increasing taxes on luxury goods. Another way to solve this issue is increasing the rediscount rate, and lastly, increasing the proportion of the legal reserve .

Hopefully, I'll be thankful for your sharing.
Thanks again you all

Good post adventure. My personal view is that in the coming months the local currency will be revalued by plus 20%. This will be the wrong thing to do as it means the country simply prints more money and the price of goods rents etc increases in real terms but not on the new face value of the currency. The danger then is hyper inflation

Add to this the imminent downturn in construction, the dropping of oil to $30/b and the economy in Qatar being dependant on overses workers, you have the recipe for a financial melt down. This sounds very gloomy, but perhaps this adjustment is required. Unfortunatly the long term perspective is grim. Not just Qatar but world wide. In the past recessions have benn cyclical but this is different.

As you all aware when $ was depreicating againt major country currency where Qatar import day to day item grocery & food item all super & hyper market increase there rates.. Now $/Qr rate has increased & crude also lower so this Shop must have buying at lower price but still kept same price which where Increase due to above reason.

Can anyone keep these point to Authority to force them back to actual price with there own profit..

Thie will surely reduce some inflation..
