In Q3 2024, Qatar recorded a merchandise trade balance surplus (difference between total exports and imports) of QR57.7 billion down from QR 60.9 billion in Q3 2023.
According to figures released by the Planning and Statistics Authority on Wednesday, the value of Qatar’s total exports in Q3 2024 (including exports of domestic goods and re-exports) amounted to QR 87.8 billion.
This decreased by QR 2.0 billion (2.2 percent) compared to Q3 2023, which amounted to total exports of QR 89.8 billion. However, it increased by nearly QR 2.8 billion, or 3.3 percent, compared to Q2 2024.
The Q3 2024 year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decrease in total exports was mainly due to lower exports of Mineral fuels, lubricants, and related materials by QR 5.0 billion (6.5 percent), and Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles by QR 0.1 billion (22.0 percent). page 6
