Doha Investment Raises Active Asset Management Initiative to QR 5 Billion

Doha Investment, a specialized investment company established to accelerate the next phase of Qatar's economic growth, has increased the size of its Active Asset Management Initiative from QR 2.6 billion to QR 5 billion.

A statement issued by the company said the increase supports the initiative's expansion, strengthens its ability to achieve its long-term objectives, broadens participation by investment institutions and attracts more qualified asset managers. It also contributes to developing Qatar's capital markets and asset management sector, enhancing the competitiveness of the investment ecosystem and supporting its sustainable growth.

His Excellency Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al Thani, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Doha Investment, said: “Since the Active Asset Management Initiative was launched in Qatar in 2024, it has attracted growing numbers of local and international asset managers and participants, reflecting the promising investment opportunities offered by the Qatari stock market.”
