Recently, in December 2025, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, approved the general budget for the 2026 fiscal year (from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026), which is expected to boost investments in educational, healthcare and transport projects.

The budget includes an estimated total government expenditure of QAR220.8 billion ($60.7 billion), up 5% from the 2025 Budget. On the revenue side, the government projects total revenue of QAR199 billion ($54.7 billion), primarily driven by oil and gas earnings, supported by non-hydrocarbon revenues.
