Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s manufacturing sector is a major driving force in the country’s economic diversification backed by Qatar National Vision 2030 which aims to develop an economy that is less dependent on hydrocarbons. The economy is bolstered by a thriving banking sector, with Qatar Financial Centre home to a strong lineup of international banks and financial institutions. In November 2023 the eighth edition of Qatar Sustainability Week took place with aim of engaging the community in sustainability-related activities to achieve the global sustainability goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. Advanced technology will be critical to Qatar’s national campaign for sustainability and for the growth of the economy at large. The China contract is set to last for 27 years, hinting that hydrocarbons will continue to drive Qatar’s economic growth for decades to come.
