Abstract

Qatar is a small country on the edge of the Persian Gulf, which during the past decades, relying on its oil and gas revenues, has been able to travel the path of development and progress and place itself in the position of major emerging economies in the world. This development process underwent changes during the last few years with events such as the COVID-19 epidemic and disputes with Saudi Arabia, but by re-establishing relations with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, it seeks to continue its economic and social development path with greater strength compared to the past. Now, the current research is trying to answer its main question by studying the economic and social situation of Qatar after 2019, "What will be the future economic and political developments of Qatar?" Answer with the method of qualitative research and gathering information from up-to-date internet sources. In this regard, according to the studies, in the coming years, Qatar will increase its revenues and, as a result, make wider investments in the non-oil sectors of its economy, due to its plans to develop the northern gas field (Southern Pars) and increase the sale of liquid gas. . In the social sector, emigration to Qatar will continue to be high as in the past, but with a steady trend, which will make the government's policy of censorship and monitoring of social issues not change, and in some cases, such as the content posted by users in cyberspace, will increase monitoring.
