Doha, Qatar: Under the patronage of H E Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saoud Al Thani, Governor of the Qatar Central Bank, the Qatar Financial Information Unit (QFIU) officially launched its five-year strategic plan for 2025–2030: “Towards Safeguarding the Financial System and Promoting Global Integrity.” 

The event took place yesterday, in the presence of several esteemed ministers, senior officials, representatives from government entities and national institutions, as well as a distinguished group of experts and specialists.
