Cover Story: This study asks what role Qatar's reform progress has played in the strengthening of its sovereign credit quality, a commonly used dynamic and forward-looking measure of economic resilience perceived by investors. It does so by using novel monthly macroeconomic forecasts for a panel of countries in the Middle Eastern and North African regions. The progressive tightening of Qatar's external sovereign credit spreads was underpinned by holistic reforms, fiscal spending discipline, and monetary policy credibility. Investors may view fiscal spending discipline as an integral part of Qatar's holistic reform and economic diversification. Greater broad-based reform progress also boosts the resilience of sovereign credit spreads to external shocks. View this paper
