        Qatar: According to a report by the Qatar Financial Centre Authority (QFCA), Qatar could save up to $30bn, or one-fourth of its national economy, by encouraging more public-private partnerships (PPP) and focusing on key areas where such partnerships offer huge potentials, Gulf Times has reported. "If Qatar is able to achieve an average procurement and project life cycle savings of 10% on project with a potential economic multiplier impact (in multiples of 2), the possible overall savings would be around $30bn, equal to 25% of the country's annual gross domestic product," said the report.
