| Tlo historyczne | Ruled by the al-Thani family since the mid-1800s, Katar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly dla pearling into an independent state z significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Katari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the Amir, who had ruled the country since 1972. His son, the current Amir HAMAD bin Khalifa al-Thani, overthrew him w a bloodless coup w 1995. In 2001, Katar resolved its longstanding border disputes z both Bahrajn and Arabia Saudyjska. Oil and natural gas revenues enable Katar to have one of the highest per capita incomes w the world. |

| Ekonomia | Katar is w the midst of an economic boom supported by its expanding production of natural gas and oil. Economic policy is focused on development of Katar's nonassociated natural gas reserves and increasing private and foreign investment w non-energy sectors. Oil and gas account dla more than 60% of Produkt krajowy brutto, roughly 85% of export earnings, and 70% of government revenues. Oil and gas have made Katar one of the world's faster growing and higher per-capita income countries - equal to the EU w 2007 per-capita income. Sustained high oil prices and increased natural gas exports w recent years have helped build Katar's budget and trade surpluses and foreign reserves. Proved oil reserves of more than 15 billion barrels should ensure continued output at current levels dla 22 years. Katar's proved reserves of natural gas are roughly 25 trillion cubic meters, about 15% of the world total and third largest w the world. Katar has permitted substantial foreign investment w the development of its gas fields during the last decade and became the world's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter w 2007. |
