Economic Blockade in Qatar: Impact on Consumer Behaviour

Abstract

The 2017 Qatar diplomatic emergency started when a few nations unexpectedly cut off their diplomatic relationship with Qatar in June 2017. These countries included Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt. The separating of relations included pulling back envoys, and forcing exchange and travel bans. Customers cleared general store racks of products hours after the UAE and Saudi Arabia declared the conclusion of land, ocean and air courses to the emirate.
