HE the Minister of Economy and Commerce Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohamed al-Thani met yesterday with members of the US-Qatar Business Council to review the latest developments in economic, trade and investment ties between the two countries and means of boosting them.
Held in the presence of US-Qatar Business Council Chairman ambassador Anne Patterson and a number of board chairpersons of major US firms operating in Qatar, the minister reviewed during the meeting the latest state measures to stimulate and attract investments such as the law on foreign investment regulation, which was recently approved by the Cabinet and would open the way for foreign investors to own 100% in all sectors and support the entry of foreign investors to the Qatari market.
The meeting also touched on the positive outcomes of the first stage of Qatar’s economic roadshow, which started in April in the United States.
It also discussed preparations for the second stage of the tour.
The first stage saw the Ministry of Economy and Commerce organise four economic forums between the State of Qatar and the United States in Miami, Washington, DC, Charleston and Raleigh.
It was organised in co-operation with Qatar Chamber, US Chamber of Commerce, Qatari Businessmen Association, US-Qatar Business Council and a number of official entities in the United States.
