The Investment and Finance Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye (IFOTP) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Tuesday with the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) to expand bilateral investment opportunities and strengthen financial sector collaboration between the two countries.
According to a statement from the QFC, the agreement aims to promote investment, facilitate market access for businesses, and enhance cross-border cooperation. Both parties will jointly organize business conferences, seminars, exhibitions, and high-level visits while exchanging publicly available economic and investment data to raise awareness of the potential in both markets.
The deal is expected to pave the way for stronger trade and investment flows between Türkiye and Qatar in the coming years.
The cooperation framework includes support for greenfield and brownfield investment projects, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures that could benefit both economies. The two institutions also agreed to exchange institutional policies and best practices to create an environment favorable to international investment and business expansion.
Under the agreement, the QFC will provide licensing guidance and regulatory assistance to companies referred by IFOTP that are interested in exploring or expanding operations in Qatar, provided their activities align with the QFC’s legal framework.
IFOTP President Ahmet Burak Daglioglu described the MoU as a "milestone" in the growing Türkiye-Qatar economic partnership. He noted that Qatari foreign direct investment (FDI) in Türkiye has totaled $3.5 billion since 2002, bringing total FDI stock to $7 billion by the end of 2024. Daglioglu said the agreement will "unlock new opportunities for investment" and further strengthen both countries’ financial sectors.
He added that the initiative reflects a shared vision of positioning Türkiye and Qatar as "leading investment hubs" connecting regional and global markets.
The QFC emphasized that the agreement underlines both countries’ commitment to sustainable economic growth and cross-border collaboration.
