The Qatar Financial Centre has joined the Gulf Capital Market Association as an associate member, a step aimed at supporting a more structured and competitive financial ecosystem in Qatar. The move builds on a February 2025 memorandum of understanding between the two bodies to deepen cooperation and explore establishing a Qatar branch of the GCMA Asset Management Chapter. The membership also supports the development of a local investment management association. That body is expected to provide a platform to represent industry perspectives, promote best practices, strengthen sector awareness, and engage with regulators on shared issues. The announcement was made alongside a Qatar Financial Centre asset management roundtable that brought together senior industry leaders to discuss market trends, outlooks, and the regulatory landscape.
