Meanwhile, US Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President of International Member Relations and Middle East, Central Asia & Türkiye, Khush Choksy said the organisation looks forward to working with QFC on joint programmes, business dialogues and initiatives to strengthen bilateral economic ties.

Through the partnership, both organisations will focus on areas of shared strategic interest, including wealth and asset management, fintech, digital assets and enterprise technology.

The MoU was signed during a roundtable co-hosted by QFC and the US Chamber of Commerce in New York, during a week of international engagement around the Qatar Economic Forum and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Week.

As the first activation of the MoU, the roundtable brought together senior US business leaders to exchange perspectives on regional growth, cross-border expansion and the evolving regulatory, economic and technological considerations shaping business decisions.
