The State Budget recorded a deficit of QR 10.3 bn in #Q1_2026.#MOFQATAR pic.twitter.com/MA3aNRFXY8
— وزارة المالية (@MoF_Qatar) May 25, 2026
QR 10.3 billion ≈ USD 2.83 billion
The deficit is largely due to the regional fallout from the war on Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted vital oil and gas shipments. This crisis has severely constrained energy revenues not only for Qatar but for all Gulf states, while regional security spending has surged. As a result, Qatar's first-quarter budget recorded a significant shortfall despite efforts to stabilize other income streams.

Telecommunication is great. It has improved the lives of humans incredibly over the last century. But it is truly addictive.
Talking on phones while driving, walking, or riding a bike… it is a major distraction.
Last week in Hungary, a promising life was lost. F.R., a highly popular university student, happened to cross the railway tracks while chatting on her phone. She did not notice the train coming. Her promising life was lost, and the whole country was in shock.
I would not bring this tragedy here if it were just a Hungarian thing. But it is a global issue.
So I am shouting loudly, begging you: when crossing a road or railway, do not use your mobile!
