Qatar is known officially as the State of Qatar. The nation has extensive shoreline alongside the Persian Gulf, and shares its only land border to the south with Saudi Arabia. The Qatari Government is a unitary constitutional monarchy, and the country has a population of approximately 2,600,000. The capital city of Qatar is Doha and the country’s official language is Arabic.

The Qatari Riyal is the official currency of Qatar. Like many other global currencies, the riyal can be subdivided into 100 smaller units of currency known as dirhams. Until 1966, the State of Qatar used the Indian Rupee in the form of Gulf Rupees as its currency. Once India made the decision to devalue its currency, Qatar and other nations that used the Indian Rupee elected to introduce their own currencies. Qatar used the Saudi Riyal for a period of time until it started using the Qatar Dubai Riyal. Qatar eventually began issuing the Qatar Riyal separate from the Saudi Riyal in 1973.

The Qatar Central Bank was founded in 1973 and originally established as the Qatar Monetary Agency. The central bank of the nation issues and controls the nation’s currency. In addition, the central bank has several other key responsibilities such as oversight of the nation’s financial sector, monetary and price stability maintenance and maintenance of the currency exchange rate.
