As part of its remit, EDD monitors Qatar’s economic development. In addition, it conducts researches and studies on macroeconomic management issues and choices relevant to Qatar’s long-term economic development. EDD, in adhering to GSDP policy, utilizes quality statistical data and empirical evidences, ensuring that its advice is anchored on good analysis.
To date, and having contributed to the formulation of the economic dimension of the National Development Strategy, EDD is focused on supporting and monitoring its implementation.
