Qatar economic, investment activity remains robust: Sheikh Faisal
Qatar’s economic and investment activity remains strong amidst regional and international developments.
The Minister of Commerce and Industry His Excellency Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal al-Thani made the statement on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum: UNGA Special Edition 2026 held recently in New York, where the ministry participated as Official Partner.
During the forum, HE Sheikh Faisal participated in the plenary session ‘The Growth Agenda’, alongside Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield Corporation, and moderated by Bloomberg’s Christina Ruffini.
The minister noted that more than 5,000 foreign-owned companies were registered during the most recent quarter, representing a 60% increase compared with the same period last year, while exports by local manufacturers increased by 12%.
He said several international companies are considering relocating their regional headquarters to Qatar or expanding their presence in the country. Ongoing discussions with at least four companies concern foreign direct investments valued at $15bn, and the companies involved continue to proceed with their investment plans.
The discussion also explored the future of growth, shifts in trade policy, and how governments, businesses and investors are responding to the changes reshaping the global economy.
Furthermore, it addressed the role of artificial intelligence in increasing productivity, strengthening competitiveness and attracting high-value investment. In addition, the session examined ways to enable the private sector, develop the capabilities of Qatari companies and strengthen their presence in global markets amid changing trade routes, capital flows and supply chains.
Addressing economic resilience and supply chains, Sheikh Faisal explained that approximately 90% of global shipping takes place by sea, making it difficult to dispense with maritime routes. He noted that Qatar is focusing on goods and services that can be produced or delivered locally without passing through the Strait of Hormuz, including data and computing services.
HE Sheikh Faisal also held a series of bilateral meetings with international business leaders and investors, including Raj Ganguly, co-founder and co-CEO of B Capital; Sebastien Bazin, chairman and CEO of Accor; Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield Corporation; Mark Coombs, CEO of Ashmore Group; and David M Rubenstein, co-founder and co-chairman of Carlyle.
The meetings explored opportunities to expand cooperation and investment across several priority sectors, including technology, AI, infrastructure, hospitality, asset management and alternative investments. They also examined new partnership opportunities, ways to increase high-value investment flows, and measures to support the growth and expansion of businesses.
The forum opened in the presence of Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani. Aside from Sheikh Faisal, the following also participated in plenary and panel discussions: Minister of State for Energy Affairs His Excellency Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi, Minister of Finance His Excellency Ali bin Ahmed al-Kuwari, and Qatar Investment Authority CEO Mohammed Saif al-Sowaidi.
Held under the theme ‘Growth on New Terms: Capital, Risk and Resilience’, the Special Edition brought together heads of state and government, policymakers, investors, and business leaders from around the world.
MoCI’s participation as an Official Partner reflects Qatar’s commitment to strengthening its position within the global trade and investment landscape, expanding channels of engagement with the international business and investment community, and promoting the opportunities offered by Qatar’s business and investment environment.
