Dear Colleagues,

The months of March and April have been marked by engaging events and significant milestones, showcasing our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation.

Our calendar featured activities promoting knowledge exchange and networking. From our cherished Annual Suhoor to the insightful Wealth Management Event and CEO Roundtable for Banks, each reinforcing our dedication to fostering meaningful connections and sharing expertise. Beyond the QFC-hosted gatherings, we actively participated in prominent events such as the Arab Federation of Capital Markets and the China (Weifang)-Qatar Conference on Economic and Trade Cooperation, reaffirming our determination to nurture international partnerships.

Furthermore, we finalised significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), partnering with IMAR Trading and Contracting Co WLL to develop and expand the financial district and facilitate the relocation of financial institutions to Lusail Boulevard and collaborating with the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments (CISI) to upskill the workforce within the QFC and the broader financial services industry. These partnerships underscore our commitment to forming strategic alliances that drive innovation and propel us towards new horizons.

Lastly, I am pleased to announce that our client base continues to grow, with 260 new firms joining our community during the third and fourth months. This growth reflects the trust and confidence both local and international businesses have in the QFC.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated teams for their contributions to our growth. Let us continue to innovate, collaborate, and reach new heights of success.
