카타르는 지난 수년간 괄목할 만한 경제 성장을 바탕으로
중동에서 가장 다이내믹한 경제 발전을 시현하고 있는
선두권 국가입니다. 향후 5-6 년간 카타르 국가비전(Qatar
National Vision) 2030 의 실현과 월드컵 개최 준비를 위해
약 2,000 억 달러에 달하는 대형 건설 프로젝트가 시행될
것으로 예상되고 있으며, 석유, 가스 분야에 대한 경제
의존도를 탈피하기 위해 정보통신, 제조, 의료, 금융 등 산업 다변화와 함께 기업
육성을 통하여 국가 발전을 도모하고 있습니다.
우리나라와 카타르는 2,000 년 라스라판 가스개발 프로젝트 참여를 위시로
에너지와 건설 분야를 두 축으로 경제 협력관계를 증진시켜 왔으며, 우리나라의
대 카타르 수출액이 2011 년 4 억 7 천만불 , 2012 년 7 억 3 천만불에서 2013 년 약
9 억불에 이르는 등 양국 간 교역량도 확대되고 있는 추세입니다. 최근에는 로봇,
나노 등 지식 기반형 산업을 중심으로 우리의 기술력과 카타르의 자본이 결합된
새로운 협력 방안이 모색되고 있습니다. 이러한 분위기 속에서 우리나라의
대기업은 물론 경쟁력 있는 우수한 중소기업의 카타르 진출 가능성은 그 어느
때보다도 크다고 할 수 있을 것입니다.
이러한 시기에 금번 우리대사관이 카타르의 주요 기업을 소개하는 책자를
발간하게 되었습니다. 본 책자에 수록된 건설과 무역 나아가 금융 분야에
이르기 까지 다양한 업종의 카타르 주요 기업의 정보들이 카타르에 진출하고자
하는 우리 기업과 기업인들에게 도움이 될 수 있기를 기대합니다. 대사관의
작은 노력이 양국 간 경제 협력관계 확대를 위해 널리 효과적으로 활용되어
지기를 바랍니다.
