Lusail: Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) CEO Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater reaffirmed QFC's role as a cornerstone of Qatar's business and financial ecosystem, emphasizing the pedigree the centre has gained over the past two decades. He also made a milestone announcement regarding the centre's next phase of growth during a ceremony held in its new headquarters in Lusail. This occasion coincided with QFC's 20th anniversary and the launch of its new brand identity, "Grow with Confidence." The event was attended by several ranking officials, partners, and business leaders from various sectors in Qatar.
According to Qatar News Agency, Al-Khater highlighted that QFC currently hosts nearly 4,000 companies, creating approximately 13,000 jobs, and serves as a bridge connecting Qatar to global markets. He emphasized the centre's leading role and future aspirations that align with the state's vision of Lusail as a business and innovation destination. Reflecting on QFC's path since its inception, Al-Khater noted how it has become a credible platform operating in accordance with the highest international legal and regulatory standards.
He stated that a key focus for QFC in the coming years will be to consolidate Qatar's position as a global wealth hub, accelerate digital transformation in the financial services sector, and continue supporting the Qatar National Vision 2030 goals of achieving sustainable and comprehensive growth. Al-Khater envisions QFC setting the benchmark for modern financial centres, not only through its robust legal and regulatory framework but also through quality engagement, a client-centric approach, and the flexibility to adapt to the needs of platform operators.
As part of its evolution, QFC officially unveiled its new brand identity, reflecting a more confident, modern, and forward-looking positioning. The refreshed identity aligns QFC's visual and verbal language with its expanded mandate and the growing sophistication of the market it serves. Complementing the new brand identity, QFC launched its new "Grow with Confidence" campaign, introducing it as the organisation's new slogan, replacing "We Mean Business."
This shift reflects QFC's evolution into a long-term growth partner for businesses, supporting them throughout their lifecycle of growth and expansion. The message is grounded in the confidence generated by QFC's established legal and regulatory framework, its competitive tax environment, and 20 years of experience operating in line with international best practices.
As QFC enters its third decade, the organisation continues to position itself as a gateway for regional and international businesses, aligning with Qatar's ambition to be a leading global financial and commercial hub. QFC was established as a platform for companies wishing to operate in Qatar or the region more broadly, enabling full foreign ownership of companies, the repatriation of all profits, and a competitive corporate tax rate of 10%.
