New data from the Qatar Central Bank (QCB) reveals a massive surge in digital financial activity, with the country’s payment systems processing 70.9 million transactions valued at QR150.91 billion in March 2026. According to The Peninsula, this represents a 128% increase in transaction value compared to the same period last year.
