Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has launched Phase Two of the update to registered commercial activities. This phase covers companies whose existing activity corresponds to multiple activities under the Unified Classification of Economic Activities adopted by the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ministry said the update is intended to align commercial activities with GCC standards and provide a more precise classification of business activities in line with regulatory requirements and economic developments.
The initiative also aims to improve data quality, enhance transparency, streamline procedures, unify activity classifications, and reduce duplication and overlap among registered activities.
The ministry said the update targets business owners and existing companies, as well as relevant government entities.
It explained that during the second phase, commercial activities will be updated for companies whose current registered activity corresponds to multiple classifications under the unified economic activity framework.
The move is part of the ministry's broader effort to update registered commercial activities in accordance with the GCC Unified Classification of Economic Activities Guide.
It follows the launch of the first phase on June 1, 2026, which focused on companies whose existing registered activity corresponded directly to a single activity under the unified classification system.
