The latest market trends, news updates and our latest events. All that you missed from the previous month and more.

I want to greet all of you with a belated Eid Al Fitr. It is my hope that you had a pleasant Ramadan and were able to spend meaningful time with your families, especially in sharing Iftar and Suhoor. I was certainly delighted to see you at our annual Suhoor, one of the few occasions when we can convene socially and share a meal in a festive ambience, which I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.

As you know, QFC observed the Holy Month early with a blood donation drive. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who participated in giving towards the gift of life. Within the spirit of giving and as part of our Memorandum of Understanding with Qatar Museums, we have also pledged a full-year sponsorship to the Fire Station community programme, which comprises workshops that aim to enrich the Qatari culture. We are helping local artists and the local creative industry grow through this initiative while creating a bridge between the QFC international community and the local culture in the process.

We expect to build up the momentum we started during the first quarter of 2022 in May and see it accelerate through the year. We have already structured our strategy to attract more FDI. In the months to follow, we plan to roll out roadshows across continents to establish ties with the business communities in these regions and promote Qatar as an ideal investment destination in the Middle East by building awareness of Qatar’s attractive value propositions to investors.

Consistent with our aim to build a knowledge-based economy, we will continue to engage local and international business communities through seminars and other special events, which we can now do in person more often, thanks to Qatar’s efficient vaccination drive.
Given the activities lined up, I am confident that we will have an excellent report ahead.
