According to Al Jazeera's live updates, Sheikha Alanoud bint Hamad Al Thani, a researcher and political analyst at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, stated that Qatar's economy is expected to recover from the damage caused by the war, with a surplus projected to return "as early as 2027." This represents the expectations of the interviewed analyst and is not a realized outcome or a definitive recovery timeline. This report does not further interpret the unspecified "surplus" as referring to any specific fiscal or trade metric.
