Partnering with peer regulators

and other agencies in Qatar

In 2022 and for the fourth time, the QFCRA participated

in World Investor Week (WIW), which took place

during October.

WIW is a week-long global campaign promoted by the

International Organization of Securities Commissions

(IOSCO) and supported by leading organisations such

as the G20 and the World Bank. The aim of WIW is
to raise awareness about the importance of investor

education and protection. This year’s focus was

investor resilience and how it can be achieved and

introducing various audiences to sustainable finance.

The QFCRAsupported the WIW campaign by coordinating

a number of events with schools and universities:

• Qatar Banking and Business Administration

Secondary Business School for Boys;

• Qatar Banking and Business Administration
Secondary Business School for Girls;

• Radio segment on Qatar Broadcasting

Company (QBS) English Radio;
• An Introduction to Sustainable Finance lecture

at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar; and

• Roundtable discussion held with Hamad Bin Khalifa

University College of Law and College of Public

Policy on Sustainable Finance Opportunities and
Challenges: Working towards a greener future.

This initiative falls under Qatar’s Second Strategic
Plan for Financial Sector Regulation (2017-2022).

Events related to sustainable finance were also held

during Qatar Sustainability Week, which took place

at the same time as WIW. This allowed the QFCRA to
reach a larger audience and spread the key messages

for WIW in conjunction with local initiatives.
