Qatar is benefiting from rising global gas prices, which are at record levels since the end of 2021 and continue to rise due to the aftermath of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Qatar is the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas and is facing fierce competition for global market share due to increased exports from major liquefied natural gas suppliers such as Australia and the United States.
