Dubai: The Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) said adequate disclosures and transperncy are key to gain the confidence of both individuals and institutional investors.

The companies listed on QSE have made great strides in the implementation of international standards in terms of disclosure and transparency and the development of dedicated Investor Relations, said Rashid Bin Ali Al Mansouri, CEO of QSE in a statement.

“What matters to investors primarily is the access to information, and the best way to do that is to invest in modern technology through developing the websites and social media outlets of listed companies in order to achieve their corporate objectives in the long term and enhance confidence in the financial market among the various categories of investors,” Al Mansourin said.

The meeting was attended by Qatar Financial Markets Authority (QFMA) and the Qatar Central Securities Depository (QCSD), and the representatives from some listed companies.

The QE (Qatar Exchange) Index is a capitalisation weighted index of the 20 most highly capitalised and liquid companies traded on the Qatar Exchange.
