Invest Qatar sees big role for logistics sector, World Cup spurred investments
The Gulf country ranks seventh globally in logistics competence in Agility's Emerging Markets Logistics Index as the Qatar Free Zones Authority brings in top companies in the sector.
PARIS — Qatar’s logistics sector is playing a key role in the country’s economic growth, says the chief executive officer of Investment Promotion Agency Qatar, also known as Invest Qatar.
“One of the main tailwinds for Qatar is its strong logistics sector, which plays a crucial role in the country’s sustained growth and planning efforts,” Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al-Thani told Al-Monitor.
Sheikh Ali noted that the Gulf country ranks seventh globally in logistics competence in Agility's Emerging Markets Logistics Index and the Qatar Free Zones Authority is “a key enabler" by hosting top global logistics enterprises and incorporating innovative technologies like AI.
“These initiatives enhance Qatar’s logistics infrastructure, attract new market entrants and solidify its position as a global logistics leader,” he added.
