Qatar Economic Outlook 2021 - 2023 
72 
Features of Recovery and 
Stability of Macroeconomic 
Indicators 
In the light of the foregoing, it is evident that 
the spread of the virus and the measures to 
contain it had direct impacts on public health 
together with indirect impacts on both the 
supply and demand sides of the economy, 
mainly caused by the reduction in the work of 
ministries and government agencies, and the 
decline in many activities of the public and 
private sectors, as indicated in the Box (2-6).
However, harnessing the State’s financial, 
health, and media capabilities during the first 
and second waves, and in conjunction with 
citizens’ and residents’ adherence to 
preventive measures so as to limit the spread 
of the virus, when all is considered led to:
(1) Recovery of at least 92.7% of the infected 
cases and reducing deaths by about 618 
cases in a country that had endured more 
than 266,962
cases of infection by early 
January 2022.
(2) Stability in many economic activities at a 
minimum and limiting the negative effects of 
sudden shocks of lower prices, demand, and 
purchasing power caused by uncertainty 
among consumers and investors.
(3) The administrative measures, i.e., many 
government institutions and the private 
sector resorted to working online and 
remotely, thereby contributing to accelerating 
the efforts of the public and private sectors in 
Box 2-6: Expected Impacts of Covid Measures
 
Containment measures 
Objective and Economic Sectors 
Most Significant Economic & Social Outcomes
Suspending and restricting 
prayers in mosques and places of 
worship 
Aims to limit gatherings in arts and 
entertainment activities, wholesale and retail 
trade, hotels and restaurants, and other places 
of social gatherings 
A decline in aggregate demand and the introduction 
of a new lifestyle dominated by distancing and 
isolation with unknown repercussions. Some 
indications exist that the rate of depression and the 
use of sedatives among adolescents soared in many 
countries, and small companies that depended on 
providing trade and entertainment services may have 
lost so much income and savings that some of them 
may not recover again. 
Banning social gatherings 
Banning sports activities and 
camps 
Regulating weddings attendances
Regulating internal land and sea 
transportation 
Aims to minimize gatherings in the 
transportation sector 
A supply chain disruption and the contraction of the 
activities of the transport sector and wholesale and 
retail trades, which led to a reduction in service and 
production activities, and even layoffs. 
Regulating external transport
Regulating attendances of 
schools, universities, training 
centers and health care services 
Aims to minimize gatherings in education 
and health activities 
The productivity of many service and production 
activities, including education and health, have 
declined, which is said to have led to an increase in 
the time children sit in front of TVs, computers, and 
mobile phones. However, this contributed to the 
automation of some work, including education and 
health services - which has increased the use of local 
and international communication technologies for 
the purposes of conducting public and private works 
as well as economic and social communications. 
Minimizing the number of staff 
in the workplace 
Aims to reduce mingling in public 
administration, financial, real estate, 
construction and building activities, as well 
various private sector activities. 
Provision of financial, in-kind 
and administrative facilities and 
fee reductions 
In order to bring down the fluctuations in oil 
and gas prices, and the decrease in demand 
for and consumption of national products, the 
government has provided financial support 
State revenues shrank, whereas government 
expenditures increased to help the public and private 
sectors, which has led to a deficit in the public 
budget and a high public debt. 
Raising official interest rates, 
granting loans at low interest 
rates, providing a bank 
guarantee, granting customs, rent 
and fees exemptions 
To limit any negative repercussions on 
domestic liquidity and exchange rates, and 
achieve stability in inflow and outflow, a 
package of monetary policy measures was 
adopted to support local banks and small and 
medium-sized enterprises. 
Bank profits decreased due to low interest, at the 
same time customers turned to the use of modern 
technologies in banking, and small and medium 
enterprises and individuals benefited from cash 
facilities
