Qatar’s Ministry of Finance reported that Minister Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari participated in a Bloomberg dialogue session at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, covering the global economic and market outlook and its implications for Qatar, alongside the country’s diversification agenda, funding conditions and technology priorities. The discussion reviewed developments in strengthening key growth sectors including tourism and logistics, how global borrowing conditions in 2026 could affect Qatar’s debt issuance plans, and the implications of global artificial intelligence trends for the national economy. The minister also highlighted Qatar’s competitive advantages in data centres and the government’s role in supporting the sector, and said nearly one third of the implementation period of the Third National Development Strategy to 2030 has been completed, with progress linked to flexible fiscal policies, diversification of income sources and investment in advanced technologies including AI. The engagement was positioned as part of Bloomberg’s year-round partnership with the State of Qatar to support the Qatar Economic Forum, powered by Bloomberg, and to build momentum ahead of the forum’s convening in May.
