Overview

The KPI Database provides granular, indicator-level analysis of Qatar’s progress toward the targets established under the Qatar National Vision 2030. Each entry profiles a single metric with a standardised structure: definition and methodology, baseline value with reference year, current value with reference year, 2030 target, status assessment, key drivers, and forward trajectory analysis.

This database is designed to function as a reference tool for analysts, investors, and policymakers who require specific, sourced data points rather than narrative assessments. Every indicator is traceable to official Qatari government publications, international organisation databases, or credible third-party research.

Indicator Coverage

The database spans all four QNV 2030 development pillars:

Economic Development indicators track the core diversification agenda — GDP composition, fiscal sustainability, hydrocarbon production capacity, private sector growth, sovereign wealth accumulation, tourism economics, and SME development. These indicators provide the most directly quantifiable measure of Qatar’s structural transformation.

Human Development indicators monitor education access and quality, healthcare outcomes, workforce nationalisation, research capacity, and innovation ecosystem maturity. These metrics capture the human capital formation that underpins the knowledge economy ambition.

Social Development indicators assess governance quality, digital government maturity, and institutional effectiveness through composite international indices.

Environmental Development indicators measure emissions intensity, renewable energy deployment, waste management performance, and resource efficiency — the dimensions where Qatar faces its most significant gap between aspiration and current trajectory.

Status Classifications

Each indicator carries one of four status assessments: Ahead (exceeding required pace), On Track (consistent with target trajectory), At Risk (insufficient pace without acceleration), or Stable (maintenance-oriented or showing limited movement). These classifications are reviewed as new data becomes available.

Data Currency

Users should note that official Qatari data publication timelines vary by indicator. Economic and fiscal data are typically available with a six-to-twelve-month lag. Social and environmental indicators may lag by twelve to twenty-four months. Where data gaps exist, they are explicitly flagged.
