Qatar sees a rise in population
Qatar’s population stood at a record 2,116,400 at the end of last month, newly released figures from the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics (QSA) have shown.
That’s about 10,000 more people than were in Qatar at the end of January and nearly 50,000 people more than the previous population record set in November.
The number of residents are expected to continue climbing over the next few years as Qatar hires more expats to build up its infrastructure ahead of the 2022 World Cup Last year, a QSA official forecast that some 2.4 million would live here by 2015.
