Qatar's inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased 7% at the end of Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025, reaching approximately QAR157 billion ($43.26 billion).

This growth indicates an advanced level of confidence among foreign investors in Qatar's economy, supported by a stable and enabling business environment underpinned by clear economic policies and development plans that have enhanced the country's competitiveness, said the National Planning Council survey for Q3 2025.

More than 95% of the inward FDI were concentrated in five main economic activities: mining and quarrying (44%), followed by financial and insurance activities (32%), manufacturing (15%), professional, scientific and technical activities (5%), and public administration (2%).

The outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) positions increased 3% at the end of Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025, reaching QAR203 billion ($55.93 billion), a QNA report said quoting the NPC survey.

This increase reflects the expanding role of Qatar's outward FDI in international markets and the growing presence of Qatari investments within the global investment landscape.

More than 90% of the outward FDI positions were concentrated in five economic activities: financial and insurance activities (33%), mining and quarrying (27%), information and communication (12%), transportation and storage (11%), and arts, entertainment, and recreation (7%).
