Dear Mr. Nasser, actually I was sharing the same idea with many of my friends here in Qatar. For any economy it is not good to rely on only one resource. The real strength of any economy is to have an active market where the people are well educated ,culturally matured and well paid too. Also the role of SMEs are important to offer more employment in private sector. The development of private sector will increase the opportunities in public sector too because the government has to bring more systems and controls to monitor the private sector. There are many very rich foreigners here who are ready to invest and settle down here in Qatar if permanent residency is given even without voting right. They need only all other rights of citizen the except voting right. They can be considered for voting may be after certain period of stay and their contribution to the country. If you look at the countries like Australia, Canada, Singapore and some other countries in Europe and America have been developed and become very strong economy in the world just because they invite any people from any part of the world considering only their education, experience and professional qualities and their potential for the contribution to the country. No doubt; Qatar also is a good economy. Nevertheless, when we look to the future if Qatar can take highly talented and good business people as their permanent residents, it will for sure help the economy to grow and prosper. Now the foreigners are not doing much investments in Qatar as there is no guarantee of ownership of property and investments they do. Qatar can follow the same migration rules which the above countries follow. I strongly believe that Qatar can become the best real economy in the world if they allow such good people to settle down here. As foreigner I am here since 2012 running a small successful business, but now I am thinking of moving to Australia or Canada. Most of the business people and professionals are ready to move to Australia or Canad etc..if there is any chance. This is because they can settle there as in their own countries. These countries growing faster because they are attracted by such highly talented people around the world. My personal opinion is that Qatar also follow the same model to build an economy which is much stronger and growing faster .
