About this chart
Qatar's economy has grown about twelvefold since 2000, from $17.8 billion to $216 billion in 2025, lifting its world rank from 74th to 55th. The peak so far was 2022 at $236 billion, and the total has slipped since. Because Qatar's output is tied to oil and gas, dollar GDP is volatile: it fell 22 percent in 2015, from $206 billion to $162 billion, and 18 percent in 2020, from $176 billion to $144 billion.
Against its three nearest economies, Qatar in 2025 trails Iraq ($254 billion) and Hungary ($247 billion) and leads Ukraine ($214 billion) by about $1 billion. Iraq has been ahead since 2004. Qatar passed Hungary in 2011, fell behind in 2020, edged ahead in 2022 and dropped back in 2023. It has led Ukraine since 2022.
