I am in Qatar for some years and recently i can see many sudden increase of cost of living.Food price, House rent even kids school fees getting increase except the salary. Any reason for this or is it because of global depression. In our countries government normally increase the Tax for the items but here no taxes but prices are getting increase. So now no saving like previously. Any Idea ...(my barber also increased the price for hair cut from 10QR to 15QR)

yes..other countries cost of living is goes higher and higher... That s correct. Mainly on third world countries.. But Qatar is Oil/Gas rich country.. any control of this. I think now they want to keep their money in Qatar making cost is high so their will be no saving.
