Doha, Qatar: Qatar's economy maintained growth in the third quarter of 2025, with real GDP rising by 2.9% compared to the third quarter of 2024. This growth was driven primarily by non-hydrocarbon activities, which expanded by 4.4%, according to a statement issued by the National Planning Council (NPC) on Sunday.

Real GDP estimates for the third quarter of 2025 reached QAR 186.1 billion at constant prices, compared with QAR 180.9 billion in the third quarter of 2024.

Non-hydrocarbon activities accounted for 65.5% of real GDP, with value added reaching QAR 121.9 billion in the third quarter of 2025, compared to QAR 116.8 billion in the same period of 2024.

This represents a year-on-year increase of 4.4%, in line with the objectives of the Third National Development Strategy (NDS3) and Qatar National Vision 2030.

Within the non-hydrocarbon economy, the fastest-growing activities on a year-on-year basis were construction (9.1%), wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (8.9%), and accommodation and food service activities (6.4%).
