Qatar prioritizing health, education, transport projects
Qatar is proceeding with planned economic development projects despite cheaper oil and is prioritizing those related to health, education and transport, finance minister Ali Sherif al-Emadi said on Sunday.
“Despite the drop in oil prices, we are still going ahead with our planned projects,” Emadi said in a speech.
“We will give priority to projects related to health, education, infrastructure, transportation including rail, and projects related to the 2022 World Cup,” he said. Qatar will host the global soccer tournament.
