Qatar gaat wat doen aan eigen infrastructuur

After paying for stakes in European companies, landmarks in London, uprisings in the Middle East and a soccer title in France, Qatar may be getting ready to go home.

The $60 billion-a-year spree by the world’s richest country, dominated by holdings in companies such as British bank Barclays Plc (BARC) and German carmaker Volkswagen AG, is set to slow as energy revenue dips because of a drop in prices and stalling production. Qatar meanwhile plans to spend $200 billion on projects including roads, air-conditioned stadiums and a metro line before hosting the 2022 soccer World Cup.
