Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani announced the Doha Investment platform at the Qatar Economic Forum in New York on September 20, following earlier 2026 discussions about separating QIA’s domestic holdings from its international portfolio. Housed under the Qatar Investment Authority, the platform will manage about 45 state-owned enterprises representing roughly one-third of QIA’s total assets and support a five-year, $60 billion domestic investment pipeline. Qatar is projected to suffer an 8.6% GDP contraction in 2026, with approximately $20 billion in annual revenue at risk, while production at the Ras Laffan LNG facilities has fallen 17% amid war-related disruptions. The platform will focus on national champions and domestic development, while QIA continues its international investment activities, including a planned approximately $500 billion expansion in US markets over the next decade.
