Energy in Qatar

Energy in Qatar describes energy production, consumption, and policies of the State of Qatar. The International Monetary Fund ranked Qatar as having the fifth highest GDP per capita in 2016 with a 60,787 USD per capita nominal GDP[1] over a population of 2.421 million inhabitants.[2] In 2014, oil and natural gas production made up 51.1% of Qatar's nominal GDP.[3] Thus, Qatar has a worldwide high ranking of per capita GDP due to its significance production and exports in both crude oil and natural gas in proportion to its relatively small population.
