Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), a leading onshore financial and business centre in the region, hosted a roundtable to provide an overview of the new data protection regulations and facilitate a structured discussion around key issues and challenges faced by firms.

The QFC Data Protection Regulations and Rules were introduced in 2005. Given the number of global developments relating to the handling and protection of data over the years, QFC has recently reviewed and amended the regulations and rules to align with these developments.
