Doha Bank has 'three options' to lift capital - The National

Doha Bank had a good year in 2011, but will the Qatari lender run out of steam in the months ahead?

It was buoyed last year by the country's moves to prepare its infrastructure for hosting the 2022 Fifa World Cup, lifting its profit 44.9 per cent to 230.4 million rials.

But the bank's shares have barely budged since the start of the year, and analysts have warned that Doha Bank may be too thinly capitalised to support its loan-growth targets.
