Doha, May 19 (QNA) - The Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, slated to kick off on Tuesday, embodies the State of Qatar's commitment to reinforcing international economic cooperation, said CEO of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mohammed Saif Saeed Al Sowaidi.

In remarks to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Al Sowaidi pointed out that, as a global economic hub, Qatar is capable of convening all leaders and experts from around the globe to come together and share ideas about economic issues and explore investment opportunities.

QIA seeks to establish a diverse portfolio that generates substantial profits to be further advanced for future generations. Guided by a far-sighted vision, QIA prioritizes long-term growth pillars such as the technology sector, digital transformation in healthcare, industrial transition in developing nations, and other strategic themes, while maintaining the agility to adapt to short-term market fluctuations, he underlined.

Al Sowaidi highlighted that investments are assessed based on two underlying standards, notably returns and risks, confirming that he is confident in QIA's capability to adapt to the constant market fluctuations witnessed globally this year, driven by anticipated shifts in the global trade landscape amid the United States' ongoing reassessment of its trade policies.
