The volume of Qatari-Turkish trade amounted to about $1.9bn in 2020, despite the economic repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic on international trade, said HE the Undersecretary at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Sultan bin Rashid al-Khater.
He was participating in the opening session of the ‘Izmir Business Days’ forum, taking place virtually on September 2 and 3 on the sidelines of the 90th edition of the Izmir International Fair.
At the investment level, al-Khater pointed out that some 636 Qatari-Turkish joint companies were operating in Qatar, in trade, contracting, and information technology sectors.
Qatar is also home to some 38 wholly-owned Turkish companies, operating in the construction and industrial sectors.
During his speech al-Khater praised the distinguished bond of fraternity between Qatar and Turkey. This relationship has been established under the wise leadership of His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Republic of Turkey.
With regard to the Qatari economy, al-Khater stressed that Qatar had succeeded in continuing on its path of steady economic growth, thanks to the effective policies established by its wise leadership. These policies supported and motivated the private sector to contribute to the process of achieving economic diversification, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, and the Second National Development Strategy 2018-2022.
In this regard, al-Khater pointed out that the World Bank’s latest report had confirmed the promising growth prospects for the Qatari economy (by about 3% and 4.1% in 2021 and 2022 respectively) despite the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Al-Khater affirmed Qatar’s participation in the 2021 edition of the forum presented an ideal opportunity to underline Qatar’s commitment, and its firm orientation towards enhancing international cooperation, according to the highest standards of sustainability, in an endeavour to ensure the well-being of all peoples and fulfil their aspirations for progress, development, and prosperity.
