Qatar is the first country in the GCC to put up a “Yield Curve” in the capital market which will help investors to evaluate the time function of their money. And the Government is also expected to issue a good number of short-term Treasury Bills in the days to come, a financial expert at the Qatar Central Bank (QCB) told The Peninsula yesterday.
He said: “Incidentally none of the GCC capital markets have an “Yield Curve” (the time function of money) in place, so Qatar, for the first time in the region, is taking a lot of initiative to primarily build-up a zero risk “Yield Curve” as it is aspiring to establish a vibrant and well functioning capital market in the region.
The QCB official, who did not wish his name in print, spoke on the sidelines of the two-day Capital Markets Conference that concluded yesterday.
