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.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
