Qatar’s economy grows as non-oil activity picks up

2025/12/29 13:37

Qatar’s economy continued to expand in 2025, supported by significant growth in non-hydrocarbon activities, the National Planning Council (NPC) said in a statement.

Real GDP increased by 2.9 percent year on year in the third quarter of 2025 to QAR186 billion ($51 billion).

Non-hydrocarbon activities accounted for 66 percent of real GDP, with value added reaching QAR122 billion in the third quarter, up 4.4 percent year on year.

Construction, wholesale and retail trade, and accommodation and food services were among the fastest-growing non-hydrocarbon sectors.

“The growth was supported by rising domestic demand, increased visitor activity, and the continued rollout of infrastructure and public-sector projects, with positive spillover effects across services and trade,” NPC said.

Overall, 15 of 17 economic activities recorded positive real growth in the third quarter of 2025.

Qatar is revising its national accounts to align with international standards, with the revision expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026, NPC said.

In September the International Monetary Fund welcomed Qatar’s progress on economic reforms and predicted resilience and opportunities for the Gulf state, provided it continues to implement “sound” economic and fiscal policies.

The country’s budget deficit hit QR1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025, up 75 percent from the previous quarter. It has forecast a budget deficit of QR21.8 billion for 2026, which will be covered through local and external debt.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
