Qatar consumer price inflation 1.2 per cent in March
Inflation in Qatar in March, as measured by the change in the consumer price index (CPI), leveled at 1.2 per cent year-on-year (y/y) for the third consecutive month. By the end of 2011 inflation had averaged 1.9 per cent (y/y), rising on the back of a rapidly growing economy, expansionary fiscal policies, burgeoning global fuel, food and commodity prices (especially in the first half of 2011) and a stabilising rental market.
