The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) on Tuesday held its annual employee gathering to celebrate the Qatar National Day (QND) 2019, under the theme 'Al Maali Kaydah', which means "the path of excellence is difficult".
This annual festive event is a momentous occasion for the QFC to commemorate Qatar’s distinguished culture, rich legacy and wealth in the presence of all members of the QFC community. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the core values shaping the nation’s identity – freedom, strength, and resilience.
"This year’s slogan Al Maali Kaydah is not just another inspiring and motivating slogan, but it also reveals the real DNA of our Nation. A distinct DNA that we all carry within ourselves, contributing to the betterment of Qatar,” QFC Authority chief executive Yousuf Mohamed al-Jaida said.
Faisal Rashid al-Sahouti, chief executive, Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC), said QICDRC remains committed to playing an active role in supporting Qatar’s growth by providing an established legal framework based on international best practices.
This year’s QND celebration also marks an outstanding year for the QFC, which saw notable acceleration of its growth and diversification targets. The QFC’s platform steadily grew with nearly 36% increase compared to last year, having more than 800 firms registered to date.
"The commemoration of our great homeland is a time for us to reflect on our own path towards unity, solidarity and excellence. In the past year, QFBA has managed to achieve great strides in elevating our nation’s competency levels bringing us closer to progression and prosperity," said Dr. Khalid Mohammed al-Horr, chief executive, Qatar Finance and Business Academy.
Fatma al-Meer, chief financial officer, Qatar Financial Center Regulatory Authority, said Qatar is committed to creating a sustainable and self-sufficient plan for the future, and with determination, is moving forward to deliver it for all of its citizens and residents.
"Qatar is an extraordinary example of what can be achieved when ambition is combined with vision, and a commitment to making that vision a reality,” the official said.
