Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), a leading onshore financial and business centre in the region, successfully organised a line-up of engaging virtual events spanning across three days including the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the World Alliance of International Financial Centers (WAIFC). The diverse engagements witnessed a record attendance of over 1,000 attendees in addition to the participation of all 17 International Financial Centres members.

Marking the first time ever Qatar hosted the WAIFC AGM, the full-fledged comprehensive programme consisted of three webinars and a forum, which showcased Qatar’s strategic role in driving economic recovery post COVID-19 in the region and beyond. It also leveraged the country’s state-of-the-art technology eco-system and the QFC’s innovative digital landscape, which provided a dynamic platform to senior officials and high-level experts from over 25 countries to engage in thought-provoking discussions.
