The Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA), in collaboration with the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Switzerland, will be carrying out the “Executive Opinion Survey” throughout March 2024.
The survey will provide qualitative data about various aspects of business environment which influence the country’s competitiveness ranking (One third of the ranking weight).
The results of the survey will be supported by supplementary data and official statistics (two thirds of the ranking weight). The 2024 IMD World Competitiveness Book is expected to be released in June of this year, measuring strengths and weaknesses of Qatar's economy in its four pillars (economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency, infrastructure), and compare these with other countries.
HE Dr. Saleh M. Al Nabit, President of PSA, stated that “the Book identifies opportunities to enhance Qatar’s competitiveness, in addition to providing vital information for decision-makers, potential investors and the public”. It is worth noting that Qatar ranked 12th (out of 64 countries) in the 2023 Competitiveness Yearbook, compared to 18th (out of 63 countries) in 2022.
