Qatar: The Qatar Exchange dipped 0.38% Thursday and ended the year of the Arab Spring with a tiny advance of one per cent, closing at 8,779.03 points. Qatar and the UAE were the only Arab states where no protests or civil unrest occured in 2011. In June 2012, global index provider MSCI will review again if Qatar is ripe for an upgrade to 'Emerging Market' from 'Frontier Market'. This move could trigger growing capital inflows from international fund managers to the Doha-based exchange. [AMEInfo.com]
