(MENAFN) Qatar forecasts that its inflation rate, or Consumer Price Index (CPI), will increase to 2.5 percent in 2016 from the 2 percent of 2015, according to a report issued by Samba Financial Group, Gulf Times reported.
The report attributes the increase in prices to domestic population pressures. In April, the CPI stood at 0.9 percent in comparison with the corresponding period last year. Rental inflation also increased, driven by strong dollar and weak commodity prices.
“Of course, there are solid inflationary fundamentals at play, the increasing population and project land buying, but the break-neck rate of growth has led to calls for better data to enhance monitoring of any asset bubble,” Samba said.
