Qatar recorded the “highest average wealth per adult” of $157,000 in the Mena region in mid-2015, growing 0.8% from the same period last year, while the UAE followed closely with $144,400, but declined 0.3% from last year. As they become more wealthy, they are seeking to invest not just across the MENA region, but also across Asia, Europe and the United States. Banks in Qatar are keeping up with their demands now, but international banks are making their moves to compete with the local banks, and ensure that they acquire a nice chunk of the market share.
This report evaluates Qatar’s HNWI behaviors, the changes in Qatar wealth management regulations, the competitive landscape, and the various wealth management products and their demand in the market.
