New Estimates: Qatar - GDP(E)
Thursday, 13 Apr 2017 10:38 ET
By Dylan Horst
Summary
April 2017 -- For international consistency, Moody's Analytics now estimates detailed gross domestic product by expenditure for Qatar (25 new quarterly series from 1970).
Detail

Motivation: For the components of the expenditure approach to gross domestic product for the country of Qatar, cross-national sources report at an annual frequency and with limited history.

Response: For international consistency, we have estimated a full set of the components of GDP(E), at current and constant prices (a.k.a. nominal and real terms) and deflators associated with these components, at a quarterly frequency. We synthesized annual data from the UNSD National Accounts and quarterly data from the World Bank Global Economic Monitor, then extended using the World Bank World Development Indicators.

Properties:

  • Measurement: Millions of Qatari riyal, at current prices (Mil. QAR) or constant year-2005 prices (Mil. 2005 QAR), or deflators indexed to 2005
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR)
  • Frequency: Quarterly
  • Start Date: 1970Q1
  • Additivity: Aggregates equal the sums of components
  • Geo coverage: Nation
The estimates reside in the historical catalog (Qatar » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:
  • RNALEGDPAQ.IQAT = Gross domestic product, (Mil. QAR, SAAR)
  • RNACECGAQ.IQAT  = Government consumption, (Mil. 2005 QAR, SAAR)
  • RPDIIAQ.IQAT    = Deflator - Gross capital formation, (Index 2005=100, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
