The two organisations will also explore joint initiatives, knowledge-sharing programmes, publications and events aimed at promoting Qatar’s evolving financial and business ecosystem.

As part of the collaboration, both parties will work towards integrating their digital platforms to facilitate a more seamless and efficient account-opening process for investors and businesses operating in the country.
