Qatar's economy has proved to be resilient in the face of an embargo by its neighbours and lower oil prices, the International Monetary Fund said on Monday.
Doha is subject to a two-year long Saudi-led economic boycott over its alleged support for Islamist movements and Iran -- charges Qatar denies.
"Economic performance improved in 2018. Qatar's economy has successfully absorbed the shocks from the 2014-16 drop in hydrocarbon prices and the 2017 diplomatic rift," the IMF said in a statement.
"Real GDP growth is estimated at 2.2 per cent, up from 1.6 per cent in 2017."
