    Qatar Holding raises stake in Qatar Exchange to 88%

    (MENAFN) Qatar Holding, the country's sovereign wealth fund, has increased its stake in Qatar's bourse by 8 percent to 88 percent, reported Arabian Business. Qatar Holding bought the stake from NYSE Euronext, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, which in 2009 acquired a 20-percent stake in the Qatar Exchange (QE) for USD200 million as part of a strategic deal to convey knowledge and develop the local exchange, and now holds the remaining 12 percent stake. According to official sources at Qatar Exchange, the Doha-based stock market has 42 listed firms at the current time and its market capitalization exceeds USD127 billion. It is worth noting that NYX would stay a main partner in QE and will carry on providing all the technological support required to keep the exchange's pioneering position among the region's financial markets.
