"What makes the Qatar story so dramatic is that it is a country of less than 1.5 million people, just a tiny fraction of the world's population, yet it has a sound banking system and a commitment at economic diversification long before it became fashionable with other Middle East countries.
Not a bad success story for a country in which its chief contribution to the region not so long ago was pearl diving. To its credit it maintains those strong bonds to the past while it forges ahead with an eye on the future." (Rob Wagner is the editor of Construction Week.)
Well, sometimes we need some comments like this as to not feel gloomy over this economic issues we always read on the news.
"I do live by the motto that pessimists are usually right, but all the great change in history was done by optimists" -Thomas Friedman
