In Saudi you can get Villas for 1000 riyals but in Qatar a normal Villa will cost 5000-7000 Riyals. So Of course the allowances should be high in Qatar compared to other GCC states. How did you arrive at the figures? First understand the 80-20 Parity principle where 80% of the allowances are of 20% of community that means top ranking officials allowances accounts for the major portion of what you are taking and dividing by number of people. And then you say AVG is this much...Understand that AVG principle cannot be applied over here. None of the companies in Qatar has so far increased he accomodation allowances despite high inflation this year. Even the top Q-Companies haven't increased the allowances to match the inflation. Increasing the allowance would only solve this issue for a short term. But in the long run if you want to control this the government need to have a proper mechanism to control the inflation by applying good economic principles and theories.
