Capital Intelligence Ratings has affirmed Qatar's credit ratings at 'AA' for both Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency, with a stable outlook. The ratings reflect the country's robust external and public finances, bolstered by high LNG prices and significant foreign assets, alongside a projected current account surplus of 13.1% of GDP in 2025. Qatar's real GDP growth is anticipated to average 6.9% in 2026-27, driven by increased LNG production and a strong services sector.
