An independent emirate on the Arabian Peninsula, Qatar is one of the region’s wealthiest nations. The country’s economy revolves around producing hydrocarbons such as petroleum and natural gas.

But in addition to the energy sector, Qatar and its capital are among the leaders of the Arab world in terms of ongoing construction projects. This focus on construction is part of the government’s initiative to move away from fossil fuels and diversify the country’s economy.

The rapid expansion of Qatar’s construction sector, along with laws and regulations structured to accommodate foreign investors, generous financial incentives and tax breaks, and real estate ownership rights for foreign entities are attracting significant investment from world-class multinational corporations.
