What is your outlook for Qatar’s economy for the next five years?
In 2004, the economy grew 19.5%. Last year we recorded tentative growth of almost 21%. We became the fastest-growing economy in the world. We are expecting growth in 2006 to be even stronger. The reason for that is because a lot of activity will be concentrated to meet the Asian Games deadline [to be held in Doha in December]. Also there are many projects that will reach their peak in terms of development, mainly on the gas and hydrocarbons side.
