RIYADH: Qatar’s trade balance surplus has surged to hit 28.2 billion Qatari riyals ($7.75 billion) in December 2022, according to a report released by the country’s Planning and Statistics Authority. 

The figure reflects a 10 percent increase on an annual basis and a 7.6 percent climb on a monthly basis, the report revealed. 

The surge in the Gulf country’s trade balance surplus is mainly attributed to the increase in exports and the curbing of imports, the report added.
