Investors to gain from enhanced 2025 business directory, says chamber official

Qatar Chamber's initiative to update its Commercial & Industrial Directory for 2025 will streamline the country’s business landscape and serve as a valuable reference for investors and company owners, an official has said.

Ali Saeed Bu Sherbak al-Mansouri, acting general manager, emphasised that the 2025 edition of the chamber’s Commercial & Industrial Directory is touted as “the leading source of information on active companies in Qatar.”

“As part of its strategy to support the private sector and provide a comprehensive reference for local and international investors and companies, Qatar Chamber is committed to regularly publishing its Commercial & Industrial Directory,” al-Mansouri stated in the latest issue of Al Moltaqa, the chamber’s monthly economic magazine.

Al-Mansouri said: “There is no doubt that this publication enhances the ability of Qatar’s business community to access up-to-date data and statistics across various economic sectors. It serves as an essential tool for promoting commercial and industrial activities in Qatar, providing an updated and comprehensive database for the private sector.

“Moreover, it helps domestic and international companies open new channels for communication and cooperation, fostering strong commercial relationships that positively impact the national economy.”

Al-Mansouri explained that the directory will feature comprehensive listings and the latest information about commercial and industrial companies registered with the chamber, including their contact details.

He said: “Overall, the publication aims to enhance the state’s economic environment by providing accurate and up-to-date information about the commercial and industrial companies registered with the chamber.

“This underscores the chamber's commitment to issuing a new version of the directory, thereby facilitating the business environment and providing a comprehensive reference for investors and merchants.”

Al-Mansouri added: “The directory, which aligns with the development of Qatar’s business and economic sectors, reflects the chamber’s commitment to supporting and protecting the interests of its members by facilitating communication that enhances the investment environment and benefits the business sector in the country.”

Last September, al-Mansouri signed an agreement with Saad Abdulla al-Tawah al-Hajri, the chairman of Al Ikhtyaar Investment Group, which will prepare, print, and publish the chamber’s Commercial & Industrial Directory 2025.

In an earlier statement from Qatar Chamber, al-Hajri thanked the chamber for its role in the initiative. He ensured that the company would leverage its potential and expertise in preparing and printing the directory following the highest technical standards. Al-Hajri added that the directory would be widely available to the Qatari business community and distributed to chamber members and relevant bodies in Qatar.

The directory, which is finely tuned to the progression of Qatar’s dynamic business and economic environment, reflects the chamber’s enduring dedication to protecting the interests of its members. It achieves this by fostering effective communication that not only elevates the investment climate but also benefits the broader business sector within the country.
