Qatar ‘top destination for funds’

Qatar with its huge natural resources and thrust on infrastructure development feels like a “very vibrant” place, State Street president and CEO Jay Hooley has said.

“In the last one and a half years since we have been here, I have seen the emergence of buildings and new infrastructure in Qatar. This feels like a very vibrant place. It looks like an attractive place to do business – for both investing in and servicing assets.

“And we are here not just to do business, but to be an integral part of the community. That’s why we have taken up place and put people on the ground,” said Hooley in an interview with Gulf Times.
