Participants attend an investment awareness workshop.
Doha, Qatar: QNB Financial Services (QNBFS), a subsidiary of QNB Group, a leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, conducted an investment awareness workshop for employees of Barwa Real Estate, as part of
its ongoing commitment to promoting financial literacy and professional development in Qatar.
The workshop focused on helping participants understand how financial markets can support long-term financial security, rather than quick, short-term gains, translating institutional investment concepts into clear, real-world applications to help employees build practical financial capability and support informed personal financial planning.
This initiative contributes to broader efforts to enhance financial literacy and market awareness in Qatar, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third Financial Sector Strategic Plan, which emphasise sustainable economic development, financial sector resilience, and informed participation in capital markets.
The session introduced core principles of structured investing, including the importance of aligning investment risk with time horizon, diversification as a primary risk-management tool, and the principle of “time in the market, not timing the market.”
The discussion highlighted how capital-markets can support wealth preservation, income generation and protection against inflation, while showcasing investment opportunities available to Barwa.
The workshop was delivered by Sahbi Mohamed Al Kasraoui, Financial Advisor licensed by the Qatar Financial Markets Authority (QFMA), Vice President and Head of Retail Banking and High Net Worth Clients at QNB Financial Services.
He shared practical insights drawn from his institutional market experience to help participants strengthen their resilience in navigating changing market conditions.
This initiative reflects QNB Financial Services’ broader mission to promote financial literacy, encourage a responsible investment culture, and extend high-quality capital-markets insight to professionals across Qatar and other markets in which QNB operates.
It also aligns with the Group’s continued efforts to support professional development through credible
and accessible financial education.
QNB Financial Services remains committed to contributing to a resilient and informed financial ecosystem by delivering educational initiatives that enhance market understanding and support sustainable personal and economic growth.
