Qatar Ranks #2 in the Region by Economic Freedom

Qatar has secured the 2nd spot in the MENA Economic Freedom Index 2025, reflecting its rising position as one of the region’s most competitive economies.

With an overall score of 70.2, Qatar’s economy is now ranked the 27th freest globally and is considered “mostly free” according to the Index of Economic Freedom.

This score represents an improvement of 1.4 points from last year, placing Qatar above both global and regional averages.

What does this mean for investors? This ranking underscores Qatar’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its entrepreneurial environment and broaden its economic base.

The country benefits from a flexible regulatory system, an open trade regime, and its growing role as a

regional financial hub. These elements have encouraged more diversified private-sector activity, supporting both local and international investors seeking long-term opportunities.

For investors, Qatar’s high ranking is a signal of relative stability and opportunity. A solid foundation of

economic freedom helps lower barriers for doing business and improves the outlook for private-sector growth.

Overall, Qatar’s standing in the 2025 Index highlights the country’s progress in strengthening its competitiveness and maintaining investor confidence.
