Yearly data from 1980 to 2020, from the World Bank.
Qatar's final consumption expenditure (constant LCU) was 258.43 billion in 2020, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 58.48% from 163.06 billion in 2010 (4.71% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 258.43 billion | 2020 |
| Five years earlier | 258.13 billion | 2015 |
| Ten years earlier | 163.06 billion | 2010 |
| Highest | 269.05 billion | 2019 |
| Lowest | 32.87 billion | 1980 |
| Average since 2011 | 239.46 billion | 2011–2020 |
| First recorded | 32.87 billion | 1980 |
Over five years it is up 0.11% from 258.13 billion in 2015. Since 1980 it is up 686.28% from 32.87 billion in 1980 (5.29% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 1 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2020, Qatar's final consumption expenditure (constant LCU) fell 3.9% on 2019 (from 269.05 billion to 258.43 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1988 to 2019), the average change was +6.8% and a typical year strayed about 8.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 30.2% in 1981 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.4% in 1982. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2011 to 2020 the straight-line trend is upward, about 8.41 billion a year. A straight line explains 72% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Final consumption expenditure is expenditure on goods and services by resident institutional units for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. Final consumption expenditure can be measured for households, general government, the central bank and non-profit institutions serving households. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
