Top 10 des sociétés au Qatar
Voici le classement des plus grandes entreprises au Qatar. Après avoir connu des taux de croissance à deux chiffres pour les six dernières années, le taux de croissance du PIB du Qatar attirent de plus en plus de sociétés étrangères sur son sol. L’économie du Qatar se trouve parmi celles qui connaissent le plus fort taux de croissance du monde avec, entre 2000 et 2004 un taux égal à 18,9 %. Le pays a intégré l’OMC le 13 janvier 1996. Avec une population d’environ 2 millions d’habitants, le Qatar représente un marché réduit. Les productions d’hydrocarbures assurent une rente confortable, et pourtant l’État Qatari tente de diversifier son économie par de nombreux investissements à l’extérieur du pays. Le minuscule émirat engloutit peu à peu les fleurons de l’économie mondiale. Mastodonte financier, il distribue aussi ses largesses aux habitants, qui jouissent d’un haut niveau de vie.
