Qatar is postponing $8 billion of contracts due to coronavirus: Report
Qatar’s ruler has asked the government to postpone $8.2 billion in unawarded contracts on capital expenditure projects due to the coronavirus outbreak, a bond prospectus seen by Reuters showed.
The spread of the coronavirus may continue to negatively impact the Qatari economy and financial markets and could lead to a recession, the Gulf state also said in the document, dated April 7.
Qatar on Tuesday started marketing a triple-tranche US dollar-denominated bond.
