Qatar Investment Authority to set up training academy
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the country's sovereign wealth fund
managing billions of dollars in assets, plans to set up a training academy to
hone Qatari youth's financial and business skills and meet the growing demand
for qualified business and finance professionals in Qatar which is witnessing
economic boom.
Ahmad bin Mohamed Al Sayed, CEO, QIA, told the opening
ceremony of the sixth International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) that
the authority is completing procedures for the academy.
The Prime
Minister and Interior Minister H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al
Thani opened the forum. He praised the Father Emir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa
Al Thani and the Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and said they are
responsible for Qatar's prosperity and the economic boom.
Al Sayed said
QIA was one of the founders of the International Working Group that drafted the
Generally Accepted Principles and Practices, also known as Santiago Principles,
adopted by Qatar and SWF members at the International Monetary Fund headquarters
in 2008.
He said QIA is reviewing legislative tools issued before the
endorsement of Santiago Principles to ensure their compatibility with these
principles.
As an investment body, he added, QIA aims to create financial
value in its projects to make profit for all concerned sides and contribute to
pushing forward economic development in markets and countries it invests
in.
He welcomed the signing of the Doha Agreement, which reorganised
IFSWF as an independent fund with legal personality and independent budget, and
selecting London as its headquarters.
