The GIS Unit of the Statistical Department in The General
Secretariat of the Planning Council has been awarded a
project to produce a National Atlas of Qatar, 2005. It will
be the second edition to the first ever published
Socio-Economic Atlas of Qatar published by the Department in
2000.
The Atlas is primarily focused in analyzing the
Socio-economic data of the country, mainly available through
periodical Census and Surveys conducted by the Department.
However, a significant portion of the Atlas will be devoted
to the Topographical maps, Administrative set up,
Physiographic and Environmental conditions of the country.
It will also highlight country's Infrastructure, Trade,
Economy and Industrial scene including themes of Tourist
interest.
The Atlas will be produced using the latest Geographic
Information System (GIS) Technique and specialized software
to process and produce the maps. A few maps bearing
non-statistical themes will be based on the information made
available from other GIS databases in Qatar. The information
received in the form of maps, images, statistical tables and
reports will be further processed in the General Secretariat
of Planning Council GIS Unit for the representation of
themes.
This will be first printed and published in A3 and
subsequently converted into an interactive CD. The one year
project has already commenced in the third week of this
month and is likely to be ready and published by the end of
next year.
This publication will be a very useful and important
resource for the administrators, planners, decision makers
besides the scientists and researchers in different fields
as it demonstrates the overall geographic and socio-economic
profile of the country represented through various types of
reference and thematic maps, statistical tables and charts
targeting a variety of information users. The facts and
figures presented in a scientific manner will make this
publication of immense benefit to professional end users but
to the general public as well.

authorizes the General Secretariat of the Planning Council
to undertake the responsibilities of preparing the economic

enhance cooperation with international organizations in
developing quantitative tools and methods of economic
analysis, the Planning Council in collaboration with the
World Bank will hold a training workshop on macroeconomic
modeling for Qatar. Lectures and presentations will be made
by World Bank experts in macroeconomic modeling.

economy and is based on the national income identity that
links the national accounts and the balance of payments. The
model will help in the analysis of macroeconomic policies
and forecasting future values for important economic policy
variables. The model will also be an instrumental analytical
and planning tool for the National Vision 2025 Project which
is being currently prepared by the Planning Council.
The workshop is composed of 6 sessions to be held in two
consecutive days. The first and the second sessions will be
a general introduction to quantitative economic modeling and
economic policy. The remaining sessions will introduce the
World Bank model known as RMSM-X, an acronym for, Revised
Minimum Standard Model Ð Extension. The final session will
demonstrate applications of RMSM-X model.
