Your Comprehensive Guide To Qatar National Vision 2030

Qatar National Vision 2030 seeks to build a bridge between the present and the future. It envisages a vibrant and prosperous Gulf state that allows economic and social justice for all, and lets nature and humans live in harmony.

The National Vision aims to transform Qatar into an advanced country by the end of the decade, capable of sustaining its own development and providing a high standard of living for all of its people for generations to come. But an improved standard of living cannot be the only goal.

Qatar National Vision 2030 Tackling 5 Major Challenges

Qatar’s National Vision rests on four pillars: human development, social development, economic development, and environmental development. In order to remain true to its values, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nation must balance five major challenges, including

1. Modernisation And Preservation Of Traditions

Preservation of cultural traditions is a significant challenge that confronts several societies in a rapidly globalising and increasingly interconnected world. Qatar National Vision 2030 seeks to respond to this challenge and, connect and balance the old and the new.

2. The Needs Of This Generation And Of Future Generations

Sustainable development is a process that aims to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their requirements. The National Vision seeks to choose the development path that carefully balances the interests of both.

3. Managed Growth And Uncontrolled Expansion

There are speed limits. Qatar is currently experiencing great expansion in its economic activities, but the growth could deplete its resources and overstrain its economy. The Gulf state must target growth rates that suit its capacity for real economic expansion.

4. Size And Quality Of The Expatriate Labour Force And The Selected Path Of Development
