Record budget likely to be announced this month, says Kamal
ZAWYA DOW JONES
DOHA QATAR’S record state budget is likely to be unveiled this month, Minister of Economy and Finance HE Yousef Hussain Kamal said on Sunday.
Because of changes in the government’s accounting system Qatar’s announcement of its 2012-2013 spending budget would be pushed back from April 1 to the end of May, officials had said in March.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a law event in Doha, Kamal said the budget would be an increase over last year’s. Qatar’s fiscal 2011-12 budget was the highest in the country’s history with a planned spending of QR139.9 billion ($38.4 billion), a 19 percent rise on the previous year. Inflation would average between two percent and three percent in 2012, Kamal added.
