Qatar Balance of Trade
Qatar has been generating trade surpluses since 2004, mostly as a result of the sale of oil and liquefied natural gas (accounting for 89% of total exports). The major imports are: transportation equipment and parts; nuclear reactors, boilers, machines, and mechanical appliances and parts; and base metals and products made of them. Qatar's most important trading partner in Japan (28% of total exports and 8% of total imports). Other major trading partners are: India, China, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the QAR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the QAR.
