The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) to strengthen bilateral trade, investment flows, and business connectivity between the two markets.
The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration to promote Qatar as a destination for Indian businesses and to facilitate greater engagement between companies operating in both ecosystems. It builds on a series of high-level engagements of PHDCCI-led delegations to Qatar, which helped identify opportunities for deeper cooperation.
Under the agreement, both parties will work closely with Invest Qatar and the Qatar Chamber to organize joint initiatives, including a dedicated roadshow in India. These efforts will focus on showcasing Qatar’s business environment, sharing market insights, and facilitating direct connections between investors, institutions, and industry leaders.
Commenting on the partnership, Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, Chief Executive Officer at QFC, said that, “As a gateway to Qatar’s dynamic market, QFC continues to identify new avenues to facilitate investment inflows and strengthen cross-border trade and cooperation. This MoU with PHDCCI deepens Qatar–India economic ties by providing Indian companies with a clear pathway to establish their regional presence through QFC, which offers a world-class legal, regulatory, and tax environment that supports business growth.”
Dr. Ranjeet Mehta, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary General of PHDCCI, noted that, “The signing of the MoU between PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Qatar Financial Centre heralds a new era of collaboration, focused on fostering trade, investment, and knowledge exchange.”
“This partnership reflects our commitment to expanding global outreach and supporting businesses in exploring new markets and opportunities. It also underscores our shared vision of fostering sustainable growth and unlocking new opportunities for businesses in both regions,” Dr. Mehta added.
