This World Cup, Qatar spent 220 billion US dollars to carry out World Cup-related construction. What is this? The previous 21 World Cups, all of which were added up, were less than one-fifth of the money they spent. Hahaha, it’s so rich!
It is said that the per capita annual income of Qatar citizens is about 900,000 yuan, which is a very terrifying number. That is, an average family of four can earn 3.6 million a year. My God, it’s a supercar a year.
They only work three hours a day and occasionally work overtime, and only add until 2:00 pm.
Qatar's unemployment rate is only two-thousandth, less than one-tenth of that in the United States. Even if a citizen is really unemployed, he can still receive a guaranteed $2,000 a month, which is about 13,000 yuan, and he doesn't have to pay personal income tax. This income is quite good in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which shows how good the benefits of this country are.
In Qatar, there is no need to spend money on going to school and treating diseases, water and electricity bills, and the state will also provide subsidies for buying a house.
How come Qatar is so rich? It mainly depends on liquid gold such as oil.
Qatar was also very poor at the beginning, and he could only make money by fishing and picking pearls, etc. Before 1946, there was not even a decent hospital, and women had to give birth to children at home.
In the 1930s, Qatar discovered a large amount of oil. But at that time, Qatar was the "protective country" of Britain. The British and the Dutch had to charge "protection fees" and occupied local oil resources. After in World War II, Britain started a plan to withdraw from the Gulf. On September 1, 1971, Qatar took advantage of the situation and then, the fourth Middle East victory broke out. Qatar gradually bought back shares of oil company , realizing the nationalization of oil. From then on, the Qatar country has mastered the printing machine of oil, and the economy has developed rapidly.
Oil revenue once accounted for 95% of Qatar's total national income, but later Qatar became smarter. Oil alone is not enough. You have to think about other ways to make money, and they also have natural gas. Qatar has the third largest natural gas reserve in the world. In 1987, Qatar began to export natural gas, and now they occupy one-third of the world's liquefied gas market.
This country is really rich in resources, and the serious God feeds it.
But someone asked, Iraq and other countries also have a lot of oil resources, why are people living in poverty and wars keep coming? It is because Qatar's diplomacy is very good. As a small country, its area is only one-180% of that of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, there are so many rich countries in Middle East . How can it become the first Middle East country to hold the World Cup ? This is actually a proof of Qatar's diplomatic strength.
And such a rich Qatar is not a developed country. Because per capita GDP is only one of the indicators of developed countries, it also depends on industrial level, science and technology, etc. Qatar's economic structure is relatively single. Except for oil and gas, other industries are not very good. Now it depends on how Qatar chooses the path it wants to take. The first is to continue to exploit resources. Mexico and Brazil have also walked this path. The two oil crises in the 1970s, the prices of commodities soared. Mexico and Brazil took off with the export mineral economy. However, ten years later, the two countries broke out in the debt crisis , and the economy showed negative growth. Another thing is to take the Dubai road. After Dubai made its first pot of gold with oil, it began to build ports, airports, and buildings, allowing various industries to develop in a balanced manner, and built itself into an internet celebrity tourist city. Now oil revenue accounts for less than 10% of its GDP.
Now it seems that Qatar is also working towards Dubai. For example, this time, he held the World Cup, and actually wanted to take the opportunity to develop its own country's tourism industry and enhance its country's popularity. Qatar is in the C position of Silk Road , establishing airports and developing aviation are all good directions, and can get rid of the current situation of relying on the oil economy alone.
Some people say, Oh, then I want to immigrate to Qatar.Sorry, it's not that easy. If that were the case, would the Qatar Immigration Bureau not have crowded refugees around the world? Other people's policies are only aimed at their own citizens. If they want to become a Qatar, it is difficult. They have to make outstanding contributions to Qatar, such as sports stars. Women can apply by marrying locals, but pure Qatar women are not allowed to marry outside, so male comrades have stopped this thought. There are only 15% of the real Qatari people in the entire country, because it is difficult to naturalize in Qatar. The local dirty and tiring work are all done by foreigners, such as working, moving bricks, etc. The years in Qatar are quiet and peaceful, just for people in our country.
hopes that our country can prosper more and more, and believe that in terms of citizen welfare, it will eventually catch up with Qatar.
