SummaryPrior to establishment of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) in 2005, Qatar’s Ministry of Finance had a small in-house team to invest revenue from budget surpluses. The Qatar Investment Authority was founded by the government of Qatar to strengthen the country’s economy by diversifying into new asset classes, strategies and investments.
