Despite its tiny size, Qatar is also an energy powerhouse and one of biggest liquified natural gas (LNG) exporters on the planet. Again, this was clear to see in our latest list, with utilities firms also making up a significant proportion.

The list of Qatar’s top 30 largest companies was based on the QAR market capitalisation of Qatar Exchange-listed companies at the close of trading on 23 August. No government-owned entities or privately-held companies were included in the rankings.
