As part of the CCI, the respondents are asked questions about their personal financial circumstances and how they compare to the same period to the same period last year.

Overall, 36 percent of the region’s respondents said their financial position was the same and just over a quarter, 26 percent said it had got better.

On the whole, respondents are expecting to be in a better financial position next year. In Qatar, just 9 percent believe that their personal financial position will become worse, and 46 percent said that the country’s economy will be better in a year’s time, compared with 15 percent who said it would become worse.
