Time: Why Qatar is spending $200 billion on 2022

Qatar will spend a whopping $200 billion on construction projects to host the 2022 World Cup, a report released this month by consulting firm Deloitte has said.

The vast majority of that amount, some $140 billion, will go toward transportation infrastructure, including a new airport, roads and a metro system, to manage the nearly half a million people expected to visit the country for the games.

Another $20 billion will go to tourism infrastructure, with Qatar estimating the number of tourists to reach 3.7 million annually by 2022.
