Qatar Financial Centre (QFC)
The Financial Centre (QFC) is a premier onshore business and financial hub located in Doha, Qatar. Established under Law No. 7 of 2005, QFC serves as a vital platform for businesses to thrive in Qatar’s fast-growing economy. This innovative centre plays a crucial role in advancing the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030, which focuses on economic diversification and sustainable development.

What Is 100% Ownership in Qatar?
Traditionally, foreign investors in Qatar needed to partner with a Qatari national or entity, with the local partner holding at least 51% ownership. However, recent changes in Qatari laws allow 100% foreign ownership in a wide range of industries, eliminating the mandatory need for a local partner in many sectors. This development is particularly beneficial for companies looking to maintain full control over their operations, profits, and strategic decisions. Under the Qatar Foreign Investment Law, 100% ownership is permitted in most sectors, including technology, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and education. However, there are a few exceptions, particularly in sectors deemed critical to the country’s national interests, such as oil and gas, where local partnership requirements may still apply.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
