Discussing with my company regarding annual increment of allowance.

Is there any official statistics about increment of prices in Qatar?
Something official statistics agency, Central Bank of Qatar or similar?

It might will be for hardwares but won't thing so for consumable items as this country depends heavily on imports to feed its people.

well, discussion has to be based in something with an official "smell".

I checked QSA and it reports for -4,6% (supposed the data from Gulf Times comes from here).

So this year I will pass on the issue without noise. Lets talk next year

there has been much press lately about the drop in prices, food, and especially housing prices have been decreasing. So if you bring up a need for an increase in your allowances and salary right now, you probably won't get very far, maybe even have allowances decreased!

There is something called the Qatar Statistics Authority at http://www.qsa.gov.qa/eng/index.htm May be helpful, but not sure. The English spelling in their reports is atrocious, they even spell literacy wrong! Makes me wonder about errors in their methodologies and data collection if they can't get even that right.

I thought it was just a typical regular hearsay when it comes to 'official' statistics around here.
