Qatar, 3 January, 2025 : Qatar’s merchandise trade surplus reached QR57.7 billion ($15.2 billion) in Q3 2024, down from QR61 billion ($16.1 billion) in the same period last year, according to the Planning and Statistics Authority.
Total exports for Q3 2024 amounted to QR87.8 billion, a year-on-year decrease of QR2 billion due to lower exports of mineral fuels and manufactured articles.
