Qatar’s investment in the UK soars to over QR180bn - The Peninsula Qatar:

Qatar’s investment in the UK has surged to about QR180bn (£38bn), which is expected to cross over Q200bn very soon as the country has reaffirmed its commitment to complete the £5bn worth of investment Qatar pledged to make, said the Lord Mayor of the City of London.

The trade and investment relations and economic cooperation between Qatar and the UK is set to reach new highs in the coming years as both sides have agreed to host a ‘Qatar Day’ event in London early January next year. At the upcoming event both sides will be showcasing the opportunities of investments and cooperation in the two economies.

The visiting Charles Bowman, the 690th The Lord Mayor of the City of London, and his accompanying trade delegation held meetings with top government and private officials, including Deputy Amir H H Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Thani, Minister of Finance H E Ali Shareef Al Emadi,  Qatar Central Bank (QCB) Governor H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Saoud Al Thani, and leading bankers and top executives of private entities.
