Qatar continues to captivate world post FIFA WC success

FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Qatar, propelled onto the global stage by the triumphant FIFA World Cup 2022 and its influential geopolitical role, continues to enthrall with its ambitious endeavors. Aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030), the recent launch of its third National Development Strategy (NDS-3) emphasizes progress across physical and digital infrastructure, government excellence, labor policies, and upskilling initiatives. With a focus on tourism, hospitality, and diversification, Qatar aims to be a top modernized society by 2030, guided by pillars of human, social, economic, and environmental development.

To propel infrastructure goals, Qatar sees Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as crucial, offering growth opportunities across various sectors. The Qatar PPP market is poised for expansion, with a robust regulatory framework to facilitate large-scale projects. Healthcare, education, hospitality, transportation, energy, and water sectors present significant PPP prospects. Embracing sustainability, Qatar targets a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, encouraging ESG reporting among public listed companies. The nation's pursuit of a knowledge-based economy requires a focus on new-age skills, addressing a projected 20,000-worker skills gap in manufacturing by 2030. As Qatar accelerates its transformation, global firms like PwC anticipate increased collaboration, contributing to the nation's success and realizing the goals outlined in NDS-3.
