I read in various news reports that Qatar's GDP growth in 2009 will be 10%, and all these reports seem to be impressed with this, what with the world economic crisis and all.
But if I remember the figures correctly, this is a drop from something like 20% this year and previous years. So I don't see why 10% next year is something to be impressed with. No one ever expected Qatar to suddenly slip into negative growth and a recession. This drop to 10% just proves that Qatar has been affected by the economic crisis.
