Al-Kaabi also played down the embargo on his country's ports by several neighboring states that came into force in 2017, saying it had initially had an impact on supply chains, "but that's all over now." Saad al-Kaabi, head of Qatar Petroleum, has predicted a "very big shortage" in the liquified natural gas (LNG) sector, which will happen sooner than the industry expects, echoing analysts who warned supply will tighten significantly after 2021. The government is also considering raising taxes on fuel and petrol, but it remains unclear how much revenue this would raise.
