Qatar Economic Forum To Be Rescheduled Later in 2026

The annual ‘Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg’ (the ‘Forum’), held in collaboration with Qatar’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry (“MOCI”), originally scheduled to take place from May 12–14, 2026, will be postponed to later this year in Doha. The new dates and updated program will be confirmed in due course.

This decision has been taken by Bloomberg Media and MOCI in consultation with partners, taking into account the ongoing developments in the region. The Forum will reconvene under conditions that enable strong international participation and a high-quality experience for all.

In addition, complementary global programming and advisory council initiatives that support QEF’s mission will continue.

Now in its sixth edition, the Qatar Economic Forum serves as a leading global platform, convening heads of state, policymakers and business leaders to exchange perspectives on the forces shaping the global economy. The Forum has consistently provided a vital platform for dialogue on key issues such as global trade, energy security, technological innovation, and sustainable development. Over the years, it has attracted influential voices from across sectors, fostering meaningful discussions that contribute to shaping economic policies and business strategies worldwide.

As anticipation builds for its rescheduled edition, stakeholders remain committed to advancing the Forum’s core objectives of promoting collaboration, insight-sharing, and forward-lookingsolutions. The upcoming gathering is expected to build on its strong legacy, offering an even more dynamic and impactful program that reflects the evolving priorities of the global economic landscape.
