Qatar Chamber hosted a high-level meeting on Sunday with Mohamed bin Hassan Al Malki, chairman of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat), to discuss ways to enhance cooperation and support the continued development of Qatar’s real estate sector.

The meeting was held in the presence of Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, chairman of Qatar Chamber, and brought together senior officials from both organisations to explore areas of mutual interest aimed at strengthening the regulatory framework, improving the investment climate, and fostering a more resilient and attractive business environment.

Also attending from Qatar Chamber were Mohamed bin Ahmed bin Twar Al Kuwari, first vice chairman of Qatar Chamber; Abdulrahman Abduljalil Al Abdulghani, board member and chairman of the chamber’s real estate committee and several other board members.

Representing the Real Estate Regulatory Authority were Mubarak Mahboob Al Nuaimi, director of licensing and training; Mohamed Ahmed Makki, director of investment; and Jassim Abdulrahman Al Derham, director of legal affairs.

During the meeting, both sides reviewed the current state of Qatar’s real estate sector and discussed mechanisms to enhance collaboration between the chamber and the Authority. 

The discussions focused on supporting sustainable growth in the sector, improving regulatory procedures, and strengthening investor confidence in line with Qatar’s broader economic development objectives.

Particular attention was given to the challenges facing real estate developers, investors, and business owners. Participants exchanged views on regulatory and procedural matters affecting the sector and explored practical solutions to address these challenges efficiently and effectively.

As part of their efforts to strengthen dialogue with stakeholders, both parties agreed to organize a dedicated forum at Qatar Chamber headquarters. The forum will bring together real estate developers and senior officials from the Real Estate Regulatory Authority to discuss sector-specific issues, exchange ideas, and identify opportunities to further enhance the competitiveness of Qatar’s real estate market.

Speaking during the meeting, Al Malki underscored the importance of maintaining close coordination with Qatar Chamber, describing the chamber as the “home of traders and investors” and a key incubator for the private sector.

He praised the strong and ongoing cooperation between the Authority and the chamber, emphasising their shared commitment to identifying challenges facing the real estate sector and working jointly to address them in a timely manner. 

He noted that continuous engagement with the private sector is essential to developing an efficient regulatory environment that supports investment, promotes transparency, and contributes to the sector’s long-term sustainability.

The meeting reflects the commitment of both Qatar Chamber and the Real Estate Regulatory Authority to fostering a dynamic and well-regulated real estate market that supports economic diversification, attracts investment, and contributes to Qatar’s sustainable development goals.
