Qatar was ranked third in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) by Global Finance; followed by Bahrain (12), Kuwait (18), Saudi Arabia (19), and Oman (25). North America, Europe, and some countries in the Middle East and Asia occupied the top ranks; according to the research, owing to their wealth and developed status.
Developed countries are better ready than the developing countries to face and overcome some dangerous situations like a global pandemic. Yet, as the report points out, many of the world’s major economic powers (the United States, France, and the United Kingdom); as well as regional powerhouses (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) have become epicenters of the pandemic in their respective regions.
