But rising global oil demand helped current GDP per capita to expand 94% in the 90s. Despite efforts to promote the non-hydrocarbon sectors and diversify the economy from hydrocarbons to knowledge-based sectors, the oil and gas sector has consistently contributed to at least 80 percent of the government of Qatar’s total revenues since 2014, as well as 90 percent of Qatar’s total exports.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/qatar-market-challenges|title=Qatar Country Commercial Guide: Market Challenges.
